For those who don't know the WSL version used in this video is WSL 1. Windows has released WSL 2 which has GUI support innately. If you have recently installed WSL then maybe you are having WSL 2

"Let's use vim"

....

"okay let's use nano"

relatable 🤣

X-ming won’t be needed soon, I believe. A pending update to Windows will enhance WSL, adding GUI support, making it WSLG.

Subbed after 30 seconds. This is the way I like my information presented. Keep it up!

Just a small note:

Do not uncomment the "do not bell on tab-completion" line. That will make your "d" key stop working in the terminal, and you are then unable to execute sudo commands after that.
In the case that you do uncomment it by error, you need to go to and find the rootfs then go to /etc/inputrc and edit it in notepad :P I found out that the hard way. Didnt take long to find the fix though...

When you make tutorials as these. Keep in mind that the people following along hasen't used Linux before.
For me this is the case. So when you type through and say "Now save that", or "now let's exit" then I'm thinking - HOW!!?

[ausd]

Thanks. This was very helpful and informative

[majetysaiabhinesh]

mnt folder point, neofetch makes the explanation clear

if you install zsh, disable the beep by adding "setopt No_Beep" to your .zshrc
