It’s not mentioned in the README, but is WSL2 on the Windows Terminal app supported?
I could run gnome terminal but then I have to configure X11 and that’s a pain.
Thanks, this looks awesome.
- chriswalz 6y agoI'm not sure. I encourage you to try it out. If it ends up not working please file an issue and we'll get it sorted out.
- bransonf 6y agoWill do, I’ll give it a shot sometime this week and report back. Still not sure how much of a niche WSL is, but it’s my daily driver.
- kadoban 6y agoWSL2 is barely esoteric at all, especially because it's hard to find anything that works in your chosen linux distro that doesn't work in it (except GUI has to be set up separately). WSL1 that's a bit more hit-and-miss, anything not quite low-level should be fine though.
- jamesgeck0 6y agoWhile WSL1 had a bunch of compatibility caveats, WSL2 is just a VM. It's generally safe to assume that everything is compatible until evidence surfaces otherwise.
- voltagex_ 6y agoIt should be, there's a Linux and a Windows release at https://github.com/chriswalz/bit/releases https://github.com/chriswalz/bit/releases - you could just run it natively without WSL though?
- grep_name 6y agoIncidentally, I've actually found it much less painful to use urvxt through VcXsrv for WSL than anything else. The config at that point is just identical to my linux boxes but it interacts with windows in normal, sane ways and X11 programs generally run just fine
