Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can be a great tool for dev's, op's, and admin's alike. The downside often these roles are after larger org...

Use GNU/Linux
Sadly in the business world 95%+ of computing machines will run Windows; VMs are a valid option but with bare bones hardware it would be un-usable. WSL is a nice middle ground.
It's proprietary, non-free and just ... objectivly speaking bad (unlike macOS, for example). Also, I would argue that the PC is rapidly becoming a niche product (at least for my generation) and since all smartphones run either FreeBSD/Darwin (iOS) or Linux (Android) with a PWA compatible browser, the primary platform to develop for definitely isn't Windows, but the web, and as for servers it's GNU/Linux for sure since a long time now, and LDK (Linux - Docker - Kubernetes) is the future for sure. In addition to that, doing anything else than primitive bash scripting isn't possible in WSL (which doesn't have anything to do with Linux, but GNU - thus the correct name should be GNU/NT) and thus the system is obsolete. Especially since using GNU/Linux/FreeBSD/Darwin is so easy now there really is no reason to use that legacy proprietary blob that literally preinstalls Candy Crush in 2018.
I do not disagree with you. :)
Oh, I'm sorry if I was sounding to harsh, I forgot to put a
</rant>there ;)I agree with your rant but WSL is not as useless as you say. I work at a place where I have no option but use Win so I use WSL for multiple purposes and it works perfectly well for most of it. For instance, I'm just installing an ActiveMQ server in WSL. And I also use VS Code Remote with WSL wich is awesome.
Thanks!
Now, WSL2 is awesome!
Hi. The etc/apt/apt.conf file is no longer there in the current version of WSL. Only apt.conf.d folder. No apt.conf file inside the apt.conf.d folder.
You can just create the file and add the line. Working for me now in 20.04
good
