WSL2 – Installation Tutorial for Graphical Windows Subsystem on Linux

Re:WSL2 – Installation Tutorial for Graphical Windows Subsys... by meddlepal on Wednesday October 07, 2020 @03:33PM (#24711796)

Once Microsoft's native WSL GUI integration is in place I am probably going to abort using Fedora as my primary and just use Windows. I've been avoiding WSL because the Windows to WSL FS performance wasn't good enough but I think soon that will not be a problem.

I'm just not seeing a good reason to stay Linux-native and I've been Linux-native for 10+ years now.

In my experience, WSL2 is noticeably better than WSL1. Note that that I have an SSD w/ 32 gigs of ram so ymmv.

I tried it, I work with IntelliJ primarily and the performance was painful working with Windows IntelliJ and accessing Linux files.

That regression is the only reason I'm sticking with WSL1 for the time beng.

Have you tried a samba share or an NFS export?
