Hey !
I remember trying WSL, and had struggle configuring extensions on Visual Studio code, with for example ESLint which needs node and ESLint installed on your computer to be able to run.
How did you manage that ?

Hey! I forgot to mention this piece, I will try and update the blog post in the near future. I believe what you are looking for is the Remote - WSL extension. It's currently in Preview but is working really well from my experience with it thus far.

In your specific case that should tell VS Code to look at your node modules/node installation inside of WSL rather than Windows.
