So I’ve recently been interested in doing a complete switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I’ve been playing around with WSL2 in Windows quite a bit and I have to admit I am pretty impressed with their implementation.
However, one of the reasons I’ve been drawn to Linux these days is the privacy aspect, and I’m looking to get everyone’s thoughts on whether using Linux apps in WSL improves your privacy at all, or do I need to just flat out get off windows to get any sort of privacy benefit. My plan is to eventually get off Windows completely, but I guess I’m wondering if WSL is a good middle ground.
WSL2 bricked every single one of my VMs, took me a full work day just trying to revert back to WSL1. Might not even matter now since my boot nvme might have just died from heat yesterday.
Can you elaborate on this?
Originally had WSL1 installed, upon upgrade to WSL2 all my VMs for VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation would no longer boot even after reverting to WSL1. I had to entirely reinitialize my VMs which took days of work.
I’m curious how the move to WSL2 caused your VMs to shit the bed.
Windows stole his wife.
It takes a strong person to admit they got warnings about the importance of backups and still just said “this is fine”
