After more than five years, I need to set up WSL again, on another Windows machine (yech...see [Windows] The first full crash ever!!!)
It was nice that I documented what I have done back in 2019 in this post: [Windows] Set up Linux subsystem on Windows 10. It was also unfortunate that most of these instructions no longer worked:(
Luckily it is easier. Here is the new instruction: Install WSL | Microsoft Learn
After installation, the most intriguing thing is setting up the theme. The theme is not just about accessibility - how clear you can see the code and comments. The more you set it up like you decorate your home, the more comfortable you will feel while coding, and more joy it will bring.
I set the campbell color scheme, after trying several different ones from online collection. Then, the most important thing, is to set a dark galaxy picture, which will not interfere the scheme.
Below are the steps:
- To install WSL:
wsl --install
- To install Ubuntu:
wsl --list --online (to see a list of available distros)
wsl --install -d <DistroName> (to install a distro)
- Then following this post to set up the environment Set up a WSL development environment | Microsoft Learn.
