On: Windows Subsystem For Linux a.k.a. WSL 1.0.0 relea...

[rr888]

Its crazy, I've gone in circles between WSL, dual boot win/linux, VMs, everything on windows, remote linux servers, containers in Docker Desktop. Right now I'm back to just using Windows and ignoring Linux altogether, which seems to work best with the exception of Python.

Windows desktop with full linux servers via SSH is the sweet spot for me.

I don't EVER find that I need some kind of *nix command on my local machine when developing, but that's also because I'm not afraid of PowerShell / stuck on bash.

Have you sorted out how to get fuzzy tab completion in PowerShell, short of the buggy, menu-y integration available with fzf?

Do you find the everything you need is just already in PowerShell or so you sometimes run third party command line executables? If the latter, how do you deal with lack of man pages?

you probably know, but just in case - you can call for `wsl`/`wsl.exe` in your command pipes, i.e.

    PS C:\Users\coolcold> netsh wlan show interfaces|wsl -- fgrep Mbps
        Receive rate (Mbps)    : 121.5
        Transmit rate (Mbps)   : 121.5

If for one did not know that, so thanks. That's pretty cool.
