No, don’t use WSL for JavaScript development. Dev Drive is what you’re looking for. But also pnpm has quite decent performance on NTFS, it uses symlinks

- p_ing 11mo agoSadly DevDrive doesn't perform that much better. ReFS write performance is slower than NTFS due to journaling. https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm
- dboreham 11mo agoWSL2 is fine for JavaScript development. Just don't put the npm files on a Windows host filesystem. Put them in the Linux filesystem.
- andix 11mo agoOnly if you don't use windows tooling. If you use a native windows git client over the network file share, trouble begins. Even vscode without remote wsl core. You can put everything inside Linux, but then it's better to switch to Linux completely. Doesn't make sense to do everything inside the wsl vm. Node/js development works really well on native windows. Some things are a bit slower, but it's not horrible.
