X servers suck though. Vscode renders sharply without having to do extra work. Both wsls are reasonably enjoyable. Much better than ssh-ing to a Linux host

- tragictrash 5y agoYou realize your using an x server to do that, right? It's just one thats bundled in with windows, and you don't have to configure.
- Osiris 5y agoI thought vs code ran natively as a Windows app and just used a remote connection to wsl to do file management and run cli commands ? I don't think vs code is running inside the wsl environment directly.
- tragictrash 5y agoThere's a couple ways you can do this. The latest revision of WSL lets you run Linux gui apps that appear in a x server window, and you can pin them to the taskbar/start menu. That is definitely using a built in x server. Opening vscode in windows and opening the Linux vm's file through the "filesystem"(it's a network share) is unstable. You really have to open vscode in Linux, or run it in windows and ssh into the virtual machine for it to work well.
