Microsoft with WSL2 is pretty much ready to go for the jugular IMHO.



Windows Update 2004 made the experience even smoother on my XPS 15.


Unfortunately, it hasn't fixed the problem with running VirtualBox using the hypervisor platform/virtual machine platform (I forget which) while hyper-v is enabled: sha sums (and other hashes like whirlpool, md5, etc) don't work properly. Meaning I can't use wsl2 and VirtualBox. Or use the Android emulator and VirtualBox. And yes, this seems to be a obscure issue that's hard to research (`Intel SHA extension` and `/etc/gcrypt/hwf.deny` may help); I've had to look this up three times now because I keep doing it in private browsing mode or on another device/browser.

Don't mind me, I'm just annoyed that Microsoft won't add support for ssh-copy-id.


Same here. My terminal/neovim setup feels very close to what I run on a native Linux machine. A huge step up from WSL1, imo.
