     @itsfoss long aswr:
     Yes I've used WSL at work and it was good. I've compiled my code in WSL before uploading it to the MCU. Getting the arm none eabi compiler running on windows with my employers UAC settings was not possible and asking IT would've taken ages as I was only an intern.

     WSL is a good way to bypass UAC restrictions 😝.

     Only later I found out I could've just asked for an Ubuntu install and WSL was overly complicated.

     @itsfoss It's a solution in search of a problem. Microsoft would have done better by just making a Posix compliant terminal instead of digging in their heels with Powershell.

     @itsfoss use it occasionally. it's very convenient when it works, but when it doesn't, it seems to fail in much more alien ways than other solutions.

     @itsfoss I always felt like WSL was just an attempt by Microsoft to entice more devs to use Windows because so many love Linux's tools, just to game their usage numbers and to collect more data on a larger number of people for their advertising business.

     @itsfoss I only use it to compile things I don't want to/ can't do on a cloud vm (like gitpod). For example rpi pico development and compiling post market os.
