       Listened to @JoeRess and Hayden Barnes talk about using WSL as a daily driver Linux on Linux Downtime episode 52. I decided to try it out, and then wrote some word vomit on my blog about the experience.https://mikestone.me/playing-with-wsl2Day 13 of the #100DaysToOffload

       @mike @JoeRess I'm using `nano` as my terminal text editor, and mostly lack the need to learn `vim` (and right thereafter *time*) ✌️😅Also I don't want to tinker with WSL at work and at home only my wife uses Windows 11 💪😎

       @mike does WSL use your gpu for GUI apps? I am assuming it does not so my dream of using WSL to run Lutris to run a windows-only game on Linux through Windows is still a few years off.

       @mike pretty much mirrors my own experience with wsl2 on my work laptop over the past year. It's ok, performance is about the same as running a real Linux inside a Virtual box VM on the same hardware, and the major use case was full screen ssh to tmux on a server.I eventually set up Nomachine there and used the NX client on windows to connect to it. That was a much better experience. It's like tmux for GUIs. I could run all the GUI tools I use and have session persistence.@JoeRess

       @mike @JoeRess I used WSL2 with Emacs for some Clojure development. Much easier than doing the same under Windows: all my command line tools were available, Emacs ran fine, Clojure also ran fine.The only gotcha was that the Windows AV software made accessing Linux files from Windows slow, so I turned it off.Bottom line: I used WSL2 for 3 months and was very glad for the optionYMMV

       @mike @JoeRess Cool, now I don’t have to waste my time.Dang overkill for ssh.
