Good stuff Michael! My coworkers still call me crazy for using windows for development!
I switched to Windows from linux for 2 reasons
1) WSL1/2
2) Gaming
I also play overwatch and yeah I don't want to dual boot :D
WSL/git bash were the thing that made me fine to just use Windows. I was dual booting for a while but I don't see the need anymore, I have the command line I need and I don't need to worry about software not supporting the OS, unless it's something Apple-specific like XCode
Yes, still for that I have a VM with OSX but I'm mostly working on web stuff where it does not matter what OS you have I only boot it to test things out in safari because it is the new IE.
Overwatch should work on Linux too. But the occasional need for adobe..doesn't.
This is awesome! Just found out about
scoopabout a month ago. Seriously awesome.I'd add to this that VS Code allows you to connect to your WSL instance and edit files on there directly in VS Code without worrying about mapping any folders.
Yeah with the remote extension you can easily work on projects that live in wsl
I was following the steps and we need to install git before bucket for scoop. Thought I will just let you know. Also, there's a 'sccop' instead 'scoop' in the post when installing VSC.
Anyway, great write, thanks!
Nice Windows setup!
You made a mistake when you want to "install" docker, you wrote "remove".
Upps :D
Yeah, it should be
install!thank you very much! Good catch!
Was curious how scoop compared to chocolatey - and they have a nice summary here: github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/...
But does Scoop have such a large supported database of programs? That is really what makes me use Chocolatey, the UAC popups do not bother me at all.
A list of apps in the "main" bucket:
github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tre...
Scoop has also more then the main bucket:
It maybe does not have every app for windows. It has the most important ones at least for me. All apps and dev stuff I need is in some of these buckets.
You'll need to have Windows 10 Pro, because Docker will not work on Windows 10 Home :(
First time I've heard of Scoop, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome :)
Just curious, why do you also install git on Windows? git in Ubuntu is way enough, isn't it?
Scoop buckets are basically git repos that's why it is needed as a dependency for scoop
I used to use chocholatey didn't know there's an alternative! gonna try it later
Yeah chocolatey is nice but I don't know
scoopjust feels lighter and easier to use :)Nice writeup! Personally I prefer Chocolatey over Scoop though.
I would also go with the windows store but not even visual studio code is in it
This is tempting me to go back to Windows
As long as I can have
bashand a package manager likeaptand easy installing and updating of packages I'm happy :)I would also go full linux! I just don't want to dual boot to game :)
This is so cool! What's it like developing on wsl and did you run to any problems like some things don't work on wsl but it works on linux?
