On my long to-do-list is an item called "Setup dev environment with WSL". I tried it once but was struggling with a super slow React application which hot loading time was terrible. I think that's a problem with Windows / NTFS stuff, didn't had time and desire to have a closer lock to it. Maybe some day I will do it 😄
So for now first stuff I install for a new dev machine is Git for sure, followed by nvm, Docker and VSCode. I love the settings sync feature in VSCode which is fetching my settings and desired plugins from my GitHub account, so I don't need to start configuring everything from the scratch
