I used this guide: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/w...

I use windows 10. You need to upgrade to Windows build 1903 or higher for some features(docker etc). Also, WSL 1 was not very good imho. With this Windows build you can install WSL 2 which is (from my simple understanding) more of a Virtual Machine.

If you are running through terminal, you would treat this as localhost (it's pretty much a virtual machine). I use vs code and I would recommend using the plugin for WSL2. You can connect to a remote host (your linux vm instance) and operate on it.

I've ran a number of different projects from it, django, node js, docker django etc.

thank you man, I think the problem is I run my project without docker or any other supporting software :)) and that is a very bad idea.
