It works great, especially with Windows 11 where you can run X11/Wayland apps perfectly. Fedora isn't packaged for WSL2 at the moment but https://fedoramagazine.org/wsl-fedora-33 https://fedoramagazine.org/wsl-fedora-33 is a good way to do it - I use Arch Linux via this method and it works great.
The only difference between this article and today, instead of using that Powershell command to set your default user on login, use /etc/wsl.conf (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#user-settings https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#user...)
- Karsteski 5y agoDo you know the disadvantage between W10 and W11 wrt. GUI apps through WSL2? What problems would I run into? I'd really rather not upgrade to W11, given all the fuckery Microsoft seems to be doing... I'd prefer to stick to W10 and hopefully in a few years I can just use Linux full-time.
- addicted 5y agoW11 is just brilliant. Nothing can go wrong with it. Why, just yesterday, my wife’s Windows 11 laptop automatically upgraded and along with the OS update decided to update the BIOS of the laptop as well! Which meant a sudden shutdown with several seconds of a blank screen at which point she was very keen on hard restarting and potentially bricking her laptop. With brilliant decisions like these made for you how can you ever go wrong with Windows.
- anaisbetts 5y agoThe main change that some people don't like is the Taskbar simplification. I personally think it's great and it's time to kill the pages of menus that every right-click option in Explorer has, that's some 90s shit. Otherwise, it's just a better looking Win10 with AutoHDR which, if you play games and have a HDR monitor, legitimately improves the look of many games
