[image] NobbZ: This would go against all I have been told and taught about WSL: Don’t mix and match access through WSL and native Windows to the same resource. As long as the files live on the windows file system and are read by WSL it should be fine based on everything I’ve read. Accessing f…

The real answer here is to run X on windows and run vscode from inside wsl :slight_smile: I went from 8 years on osx to ragequitting in disgust after fighting brew for a whole day. Spent half a year using plain windows, was not happy. Wsl came out and I was more happy, but since my editor ran in w…

I setup vscode to run from the wsl bash also using MobaXterm, but at first I had a tiny immovable and non-resizable window stuck between my 2 monitors. I got it working by setting Settings-X11 to "Rootless" Transparent X11 server with Fvwm window borders (experimental)…now it is moveable and resiz…

At some point in the future VSCode is going to support seamlessly finding interpreter and library code running in a …

Well hello Nick, I started using MobaXterm after following one of your excellent tutorials. :slight_smile: That video and included references looks just what I’m after, I’ll let you know how I go with it. You’ve been very prolific, I may end up doing your docker course once I get through all the …

Hey, good luck with the set up and if you have any questions let me know. Also thanks for the support!

I went back to running vscode from windows just keeping everything else in wsl. The main thing to run in wsl natively is git due to how git on windows does weird things with ntfs that somehow makes wsl folders either unreadable without a reboot or just plain corrupts them.

You can configure VSCode (on Windows) to use git that’s installed in WSL. I don’t even have git installed on Windows but the VSCode Git integration works. One key thing is to keep all of your source code outside of WSL’s file system, so it gets mounted in by WSL. Then you’ll have no problem opening…
