I'm looking forward to try this all out! Tomorrow will be my first day of work in a Windows environment since two years and I think it is a great opportunity to use this feature.
Thanks for the article, good read :)
Thank you for your comment Thomas 🙂
Hope my post help you get started with WSL. All the best
Nice article! Thank you!
I used to do it in a different way. After installing WSL, I created a soft link from www folder to my local project folder via /mnt/d/, what made it possible to work on my local folder without doing any connections. Does your way have any adventages compared to my way?
Greeting, Tim :)
The differences can be subtle and depend on your toolchains and plugins. Probably the most obvious thing is the VSCode integrated terminal is WSL instead of cmd/pwsh. Running/debugging is also effectively “remoting” into WSL instead of running under Windows.
Basically, if you’re using VSCode as just a text editor they’re likely comparable, but the more it becomes an IDE the more differences there are.
Thank you for that awesome article. Keep up the good work. If you use C++ at all I would love to see how to setup VS Code with C++, G++ and WSL. As well as how to implement SDL with it.
Thank you 😊. I Will try to write a post about that too. Thanks again
Awesome. Sounds good. It seems like a great topic to cover. I love C++ and I love how fast VS Code starts up. So being able to use VS Code instead of Visual Studio to write my games would be awesome.
Windows Terminal also has good support for working with WSL. I tend to use it when I don't particularly need an IDE.
Windows terminal is ♥️. I am planning to write about it this weekend. Thank you for your comment Jeikabu
what is advantage of running that kind of configuration instead of all into linux desktop?
Hi Devang, this post will explain why I use wsl on Windows
dev.to/ajeet/hello-newbies-in-tech...
umm i working on linux since i was in first year of my graduation. and installed linux along side of my windows but after one year i become pro on linux and left my windows license and started debian as core os for my machine. till now i doesn't have any problem. now days KDE-plasma and gnome provide great user-interface to do all stuff over machine. so i didn't find any useful thing to use WSL.
When i type 'code' or 'code .' inside WSL window terminal, nothing occurs, only works inside VSCode WSL Window, do you know why?
Here is what the official docs says:
