Install wsltty (WSL Terminal) and you get Cygwin's terminal for your WSL environment. Add a proper X server like VcXsrv and you can run your X clients in a window (I think VcXsrv does borderless full screen) or as native-looking Windows applications. And you don't need a special filesystem for data exchange. Just be careful about what you write from Windows until the next feature update which will include improvements to drvfs which address problems with POSIX file metadata being wrecked by standard NTFS access. What's missing is the Linux kernel (there's no Linux in WSL despite the name) so the only reason to dual boot is if you absolutely need the Linux kernel. -- Rich Pieri _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
