I have shifted from dual booting to fully windows + wsl (Ubuntu). The new GPU passthrough and GUI app support in Win 11 WSL is particularly useful as you can run full fledged dev tools like Intellij natively in Linux vs the WSL Remote trick VSCode uses while still having all the device driver polish and hardware/software compatibility of Windows.
- Karsteski 5y agoSo I'm guessing on W10 w/o GPU acceleration, using WSL/WSL2 with GUI apps is pretty terrible? I'd mostly just be using my GUI for running programs I'm actually writing, so I'm wondering how much of a problem this would be for me.
- sfifs 5y agoVirtually every meaningful laptop in the last 4-5 years has had an integrated GPU, even if it's a basic Intel one - even though my personal laptop model is 4-5 years old with such a GPU, I'm also able to run Intellij on WSL2 on it very comfortably. I do have 32 gigs of RAM though.
