Windows and Linux: Together at Last?

How to run Linux and Windows at the same time on the same machine featuring the new WSL2 subsystem, which allows multiple Linux distributions and Windows itself to share the same hardware at the same time.

  • really glad I came across this. I use WSL off and on at work and I have recently been tasked with working in Ruby which has been a massive pain on windows for certain things (like its mysql2 and gpgme libraries). I had been running rubymine in windows, but I think im going to try out this visual studio running on ubuntu instead, that might be a silver bullet for a lot of the problems ive ran into.

  • Thanks Dave! Great video, I just discovered for myself xappps, and will be using it extensively.

  • Thanks, Dave. This was a fantastic video. Thanks for showing each of your steps.

  • Probably not… Microsoft has almost no market share in certain segments (Servers/Embedded,Mobiles,Consoles and so on) and they were never really able to really put a foot in the door. WSL ist just a "We can't destroy nor compete with them, so we try to make them a child of our own instead"… That does not make any Microsoft product any better.

  • what about …
    sudo su <password><ret>
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
    reboot <enter>
    does both things at the same time.

  • Why not rebuild Microsoft Windows on top of FreeBSD+MATE+Xwindows plus Wine64+Winetricks64+Zip.dll to create a new build of Microsoft Windows that cannot get infected.

  • As of this year, I’ve parted ways with Windows. Qubes is my main OS. And though, I can run Windows (or WINE) in a VM… I don’t see any need to. Linux does everything I need, natively.

  • The trouble with those with so many subscribers is that comments become anonymous flotsam and jetsam for which a reply is unlikely as there are too many to bother with.

    I am trying to get VS Code to run that simple .cpp code and all I get is an error dialogue saying I have to enter a name and setup a .json file. The extensions described notwithstanding. Not simple.
    When you say 'mere seconds', for me it seems like it will take mere hours or days for this so called simple experience to work.

    I like your channel a lot but if there is one criticism it is that with many of the things you describe, like his, you take simple steps, as though suitable for a simpleton like me and yet there are unexplained steps that make it impossible to achieve what you just did without 10 years as a systems programmer or another potential rabbit hole of internet inquiry.

    That is, in a nutshell, I followed your steps and it did not work.

  • Using photoshop in windows and run command line in linux… MacOS: hmm… (not want to start a war, just thought of this joke

  • I still stick to WSL1 since my CPU has no support for nested virtualization, so that trying to start Bluestack or any other VM while Windows is under Hyper-V does blue-screen-crash Windows.

  • Cool but you should mention that ins order to be able to boot in systemd mode it needs to be configured first

  • I'm not a Linux user, never have been, but this a piqued my interest as I may need to go down the Linux route for some web hosting requirements I have. Thank you.

  • I do prefer to install Windows into a VM inside of a Linux install. So much better.

  • I tried getting my laptop to run windows and Linux recently, it already had Linux on it and trying to get windows working proved to be extremely difficult. Multiple isos and, multiple usbs, and three days later windows finally decided to work, then I spend half an hour installing fedora which went perfectly, except the uefi decided to point at the windows boot loader instead of grub, as a result, Linux was installed but I would have to go through the bios just to load the Linux installation as the windows boot loader would immediately load windows despite having other options.
    I ended up wiping the entire machine and loading fedora as is just works so much better than windows.

  • Dave, my man, my brother from another mother 😀 Could you please consider doing a video about QB64? It's not that I find it especially practical, but as someone who used QuickBasic (and before that, QBASIC) in the early 90's I find it very nostalgic =) <3

  • Moving to WSL2 was one of the first steps I undertook when moving towards cloud/data engineer roles. It helped me in learning filesystem and basic linux commands. I'm using WSL2 for most of my portfolio projects.

    Thx for the video to spread the word Dave!
