Re: Help needed in setting up dev-environment



I can second that.  Not that I have any personal experience with WSL, but I 
can tell you that dual boot is your friend.

Twenty-five years ago I got started on Linux in a dual boot environment.  
Slowly I started booting into Linux more and DOS/Windows less.  Now, very few 
of my machines even have a Windows installation.  It’s a good way to slowly 
migrate while enjoying a full Linux distro instead of a hobbled one.
