I have to say this is nice packaging. It is weirdly not obvious how nice it is to cleanly use a different “machine” inside your desktop.

I never thought I’d prefer WSL to even my MacBook for working with remote servers and dev but somehow I do.

I of course know the many ways to roll something like this for myself, yes dev containers are better for many things etc. but it’s wierd how good the ergonomics of a WSL like container are.

Have you tried mise? It handled most of that for me because dev environment is exactly what is needed per project

		I use mise inside WSL. It's sort of a terminal into "workspace" for me. Should probably spin an orbstsck or whatever to do thisnon my macbook

Thanks for saying so! That's exactly why I wrote this. The UX of wsl2 is just right. There are a lot of other ways to accomplish this, but none touch that same experience.
