Great content, David. We asked and you and Hank delivered. I had had a couple questions about the Dev setup on a Win 10 machine after watching some of the initial vids you two did and these two vids have cleared all that up. Thanks!

Great, great, great. Thank you David and Hank!! If I had a thought after having setup my dev environ on my laptop, it’s being basically unable to grasp what Postman is, or even how it works? Other programs and utilities I kind of get the gist of it.

Windows Subsystem for Linux does not actually use a Linux kernel. It runs shims on top of the Windows kernel. You cannot run software that needs specific Linux drivers or to modify the kernel itself.

It is just the Linux userland. Good stuff though, worth using.

I think most of the work shown in mysys gitbash could work in WSL.
