Wsl 2 can access files in windows, but it is very slow.
- nuancebydefault 2y agoWith the benefit of Linux and its filesystem being super (natively) fast in WSL2. What I've very often done is use command line tools like compilers, search&replace etc inside WSL2, in a Windows terminal. You have the benefits of speed and all the CLI tools of the Linux world. And then have the GUIs, like vscode, running on Windows. Vscode has its server running on the WSL side, so still very good performance. Best of both worlds, since the GUIs and the CLIs are tightly integrated.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 2y agoThat's the crux of the issue. Vscode works ok because you can run it as a server, but other IDEs (yes there are others) are slow.
