I've dedicated 2 solid work hours to help a co-worker migrate from wsl1 to wsl2.
Such a PITA. I couldn't get the linux tab to appear on his explorer.exe like in mine but oh well everything else worked fine!
- lrae 6y agoWait, I didn't even know that was a thing. I am on WSL2 and don't have that either, nor do I think I ever saw it in Microsoft's docs. Interesting, thanks. Let's see if I get it to work for me. For now I always went with \\wsl$. Edit: Wait, are you on an insider build by chance? https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/04/08/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19603/ https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/04/08/announc... Seems like this isn't in yet otherwise.
- craigaloewen 6y agoYes this feature is only available on Insiders builds for right now!
- shawnz 6y agoThank you for your work on this project. Although like the author I have some reservations about moving to a virtualization-based approach, nonetheless I am grateful attention is being paid to these kind of technologies at all. WSL has totally changed my development workflow for the better.
- craigaloewen 6y agoI'm so glad you're enjoying it! And yes we totally hear the community's reservations about moving to a virtualization based approach and we take this into account as we plan the next overall steps for WSL :)
- agustif 6y agoOh yeah, that was it indeed, I'm on insider build. Didn't know it was bc of that! Glad it discovered it for you, it's a great feature wsl$$ not so much clean as this.
