Configure a Linux Development Environment on Windows with WSL and VS Code
Blog post from Pybites
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows Windows users to run a GNU/Linux environment directly on Windows without the need for a virtual machine or dual-boot setup, making it easier for developers to access Linux command-line tools and applications. Compatible with Windows 10 (build 19041 or higher) and Windows 11, WSL can be installed using PowerShell commands, with users choosing a preferred Linux distribution like Ubuntu. Once set up, developers can integrate Visual Studio Code with WSL, leveraging its Remote WSL extension to create a seamless development environment within Linux. The process includes installing essential Python tools and using the Linux file system for project storage to ensure compatibility. The guide suggests that, although some initial configuration might be necessary, WSL offers a robust platform for developers to explore Linux tools and enhance their coding skills on Windows.
