WSL is amazing. Nothing short of it. My laptop SSD controller died on a conference. I bought a 200 dollar netbook running windows, installed WSL, downloaded the MDADM packages, was about to mount the encrypted drive with cryptsetup, mount the ext4 partition, then chroot into it, then my home drive was like working on my old laptop.

I did this in about 20 minutes, with the help of chatgpt.

In the end I was able to keep working through the trip and provide some demos to clients which landed us some big deals.

Go WSL!
