How so? I have no issues with running ssh from wsl itself or nowadays in powershell.

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.

They are no different than if you install Ubuntu on bare metal.

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.
