Au contraire, I run models on WSL and my desktop reliably wakes up from sleep. Best of both worlds.

- scotty79 3mo agoWatch out for VRAM/RAM. When programs on WSL tired to take more than there was available it was crashing my WSL hard and even corrupting files on the virtual drive attached to WSL in a very strange manner that made recent files just disappear. I had at leat two projects that had to be rebuilt from past conversation with AI because all their files were gone after few crashes. I asked codex to write WSL config to prevent crashes. It put some limits on WSL and the situation stabilized, but I lost all trust for WSL anyways.
- fallinditch 3mo agoWhat are the config settings you needed? TIA
- scotty79 3mo agoThat's my wslconfig file located in my %USERPROFILE% dir: [wsl2] memory=40GB processors=8 swap=8GB swapFile=C:\\wsl-swap.vhdx localhostForwarding=true guiApplications=false vmIdleTimeout=30000 maxCrashDumpCount=3 [experimental] autoMemoryReclaim=gradual I have 64GB of RAM and 24GB of VRAM.
- MrDrMcCoy 3mo agoGenuine question: what are the good parts of Windows that keep you there? I've been such a happy gamer/coder/media editor on Linux for so long that I really don't understand how Microsoft isn't dead yet.
- selectodude 3mo agoMy desktop is a game console and the games I play work on windows. And my computer reliably wakes from sleep.
- MrDrMcCoy 3mo agoMy Linux laptop and desktop both handle gaming and waking from sleep just fine. I'd be more surprised if they didn't. You might like CachyOS or Bazzite if you try it.
