I mostly code for and debug Linux server and windows just gets in my way all day. SSHAgent is broken.
How so? I have no issues with running ssh from wsl itself or nowadays in powershell.
File permissions only work in the special WSL folders.
Aren't you working on the Linux files through Linux? Or do you open and edit them in other windows apps?
Linux tools are always significantly bigger in size due to delivering everything with every program.
They are no different than if you install Ubuntu on bare metal. It's an almost identical installation on WSL. You are running full on Linux.
I can't debug problems most of the time as I don't have access to the source. Keeping programs up to date is a pain.
I can open any file in WSL directly with VScode. Or open any directory with it. I can actually even use Ranger in the cli to move around and find them and still open them with code, vi, emacs, nano, etc...

Then I always need to have WSL open or enter the password several times a day.
I never used Powershell and don't really have time to learn it especially when it is so different.
Or do you open and edit them in other windows apps?
I do. Should really stop that.

I mean when you run native Linux apps on windows like Gajim or kdeconnect.
I can open any file in WSL directly with VScode.
It can even edit files remotely but the windows SSHAgent is broken since months and the workaround breaks with every update and sometimes just for fun.
Don't feel bad, I don't know powershell either, used ssh on it sort of as a test. Otherwise, no issues with ssh, but it sounds like i'm not using it half as much as you do..so my day may come.
I gotcha on the Linux apps, but I don't run any gui apps from Linux on Windows, just cli stuff.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Can't officially argue this one. ;-)
