I spent a last few years working in Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Now I have a new computer and will do the setup with Win10 and WSL2.
WSL settings and setup
Turn Windows features on or off:
- Telnet client
- Virtual Machine Platform
- Windows subsystem for linux
Powershell:
wsl --set-default-version 2
Tools and apps
- Ubuntu – install from windows appstore
- Windows terminal – install from windows appstore
- Docker desktop – needed for running docker in linux subsystem
- Dbeaver.io – for accessing databases
- Visual Studio Code
Ubuntu settings
ssh key
windows terminal -> settings -> starting directory /mnt/d/
Trouble with accessing D: drive as a regular user
create or edit file /etc/wsl.conf and change default username to yours:
[user]
default=roman
