I ran mvn clean package twice for each, first one to make sure dependencies are found locally in the second run.

On the other hand, WSL 2 I/O is quite satisfactory, even shows signals for being faster than Windows.Īlthough this can not be considered as a verdict or a comprehensive test, I compiled Apache HTTPComponents library using Maven 3.6 and OpenJDK 14 on WSL1, WSL2 and Windows (failed there)
This is one of the biggest complains about WSL 1. WSL 2 is clear choice if you require certain /dev, /proc files. WSL 2 on the other hand, uses a real kernel so there is no such problem. It’s just, there is no workaround, you have to switch to WSL 2 or use a virtual machine. This is not a problem for everybody though. It happened to me once with an npm module (please don’t ask)
#ALACRITTY WSL CODE#
Therefore, if you a have code or use case that requires certain devices, proc files, you will hit a blocker. Since /proc is populated by the kernel, it will be much less populated compared to a real environment. Following is all you will have in WSL 1: block fd kmsg lxss null ptmx pts random shm stderr stdin stdout urandom zero Since WSL 1 does not involve a kernel, there is no possibility to do anything with kernel modules and much of the /dev tree will be absent. I do not want to manage virtual machines. I have always maintained my vm environment via Vagrant and it paid off, but If I can simplify further, I would do it.
#ALACRITTY WSL MANUAL#
Ultimately, user has to make some manual configurations, manage partitions, think about resizing, updating, backing up, reinstalling in case of a problem. Overhead I see is more about management of it.
Overhead of a virtual machine is not just about the resources consumed. You might wonder how is that without overhead of a virtual machine, if it still involves a Hyper-V and then become tempted to use WSL 1 to avoid virtualization. WSL 2 on the other hand runs a Microsoft maintained, real Linux kernel inside a heavily optimized, lightweight Hyper-V subset. Given historical support for POSIX subsystem, I suppose extending that to cover all system calls was the first choice. WSL 1 relies on LXSS Manager Service for the emulation of Linux system calls, therefore there is no virtualization. Main difference of WSL 1 vs WSL 2: Kernel

WSL 2 toolchain (Windows 10 buils 19041 or later) allows users to have both versions their system, so you are free to experiment with both. Even though you might think that you should just prefer WSL 2, I see some cases where WSL 1 can still be preferred by some audience. How far you can go, depends on the version of WSL you pick.Ĭurrently there are 2 versions of it. The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment – including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications – directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a virtual machine. So, how did I end up using WSL ? But what is WSL ? I am quite picky about my editors, settings, fonts, terminal, shells, habits, desktops (or lack of a desktop, I work on maximized windows) Therefore I consider myself a very difficult person to satisfy when it comes to my daily working environment.
#ALACRITTY WSL PROFESSIONAL#
I started using Unix around 1996 with Solaris 2.4 and Slackware 3.0 (was running Linux 1.2) Since then, Linux is part of my both personal and professional life every day,both for desktop and server purposes. The next post will include my take on making the environment reproducable. In this post, I will go over my experience of WSL(s) from a perspective of heavy Linux user and Java developer. Windows Subsystem for Linux(WSL) has been on the frontpage for sometime because of its bold claim to bridge the gap between linux and windows experience in a completely new way.
