Now Windows can bluescreen itself and Linux at the same time!

Legend has it that Steve Ballmer is still out there shouting "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS.... "

What about a "Docker in 100 seconds (and beyond)" ?

[Tiritto_]

So basically, Windows is being recommended because it has Linux xD

WSL2 is the best thing that happened in Windows since the end of clippy.

[patricknelson]

Minor correction: WSL2 is faster in most ways over WSL1 except for the mounting of shared file systems (a common bottleneck in I/O heavy situation). The fix for that is to just store the files primarily in the Linux VM, but that’s also not always desirable, since you’ll need to use UNC style network paths (fretwork file shares) to directly access the files. Also, I prefer to store files directly on the host machine (not the VM, which I consider to be ephemeral and disposable).

DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS...

This is amazing! I got WSL2 up and running, but didn't know what to do with it. This video really clears up a lot of doubts I had 🙏🏻

This is a time I wish YouTube had a 'love' button... for work, I'm stuck in a company-issued Windows 10 laptop, and had to run a VM with Ubuntu 19.10, which was kind of okay but still just felt 'wrong'. Having just gotten the Windows 10 - 1909 update pushed to my laptop last week, I can finally install WSL! Very timely video release! Thank you!

I've been using wsl since early 2017, a guide like this would be really useful for me 3 years ago, great job, btw I switch to vs code because of your videos, still getting used to the keybindings, but it's been almost seamless thanks to the sublime extensions. thanks for the videos, I've been learning a lot of useful things here.

installing zsh just for the theme




10x developer 🤣

[arividar]

Correction at 6:36: Adding nvm to in .zshrc plugins will not install nvm on your system. You still must install nvm through curl or some other way. The OMZ plugin only adds zsh command completion and other niceties. It can be inferred from this that oh-my-zsh is a package manager like apt-get, which it is not.

[Fireship]

Maybe in a perfect world "Just use Linux", but if you need Windows then WSL is amazing! Oh, and Macs are pretty cool too! BEST is just an opinion.

[breal]

Your videos are extremely helpful. I subscribed immediately. You are a remarkable teacher, especially once getting used to your presentation style. Thank you for the content, I look forward to more!

Easily set-up my Windows Terminal with WSL thanks to this video. Amazing explanation!

[samuel]

Amazing video, love the Brave mention at the end

I installed wsl back in 2017 when it came out. It was so cool. At the time i used it for accessing servers ive been managing (still using ti for that). Having the alias command for bashrc in windows 10 was so darn good. I dont remember when but as soon as beta of windows terminal came out ive used that. Very nice tools. Best of both worlds. Stable programs on windows + bash terminal

Great video!... I've been using WSL2 for roughly a year now. The only thing I dislike is working with the LAMP stack, and using Git GUI tools have been troublesome because the project folders work best inside of the Linux distro itself.

[nikolaipopovych]

I am tired of tech videos with long intro! Finally video that is informative from the 1st sec. You speak fast and informative which is amazing in compare to other long tutorials with long introduction. This is the first time in my life when I slowed down speed to 0.75 in tutorial for few mins to be able not just listen but understand and remember. Brilliant!

Wow this is exactly what I needed and had no idea it existed!
