I’ve been using WSL2 on Insiders since I had to load Windows again to support a couple work projects. The docker beta integration in wsl2 has been really smooth as well.

The remote extensions for wsl and ssh have been incredibly useful to me. Though making sure I’ve got the right extensions in the remote environment was the only gotcha.

First time in a long time I don’t mind working in Windows… I get caught not more when I need to do something from a shell in the windows environment, since I set my terminal default to wsl Ubuntu.

Aside: for node/npm, that’s where I notice an nvme over ssd. And I try not to use less than 1tb for a primary os or Windows… but yeah, 512g min. Ran a 120gb when they were pretty new (2009 or so) and wound up with a bunch of symlinks to apps/days on another drive, moving them to create space, symlinking to original location.
