@retoor I was using it almost exclusively as a way to run Debian so I could work on Ruby stuff for work.
The evil I speak of is instead of figuring out a way to properly manage library and language versions on the same machine, we just basically gave up and said use as many machines as you need. It just seems overkill to invent a super complicated technology to solve an organization problem. -
@retoor Will do!
Finally getting to really try out WSL2.
Something must have changed since I last tried it because it's working great running my Jetbrains IDEs graphically and I am able to run NGINX and MySQL no problem. I even have caja installed and it runs great too.
It feels so much snappier than VirtualBox, even though the GPU acceleration is still not really working.
I'm mixed on finally learning Docker. It's a kind of insidious evil that is damaging the industry in a hundred ways, but it is an industry staple so not learning it would be foolish.
