Has WSL gotten more stable? I found it unusable when it first came out.
The CLI tool wouldn't install because sqlite was listed as a dependency and it had compilation issues. I spent around an hour trying to look at using cygwin or some other equivalent to get a semi-sane devtool setup before I gave up and turned to WSL.
To my chagrin, WSL now has to be installed through the Windows Store - Linux distributions are downloadable apps. Now, I had a local Windows account so every time I tried to install Ubuntu through the store I got "something happened on our end." I'm a bit slow so it took me a while to realize that I had to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the Windows app store. I had one laying around so I signed in installed Ubuntu.
Filled with hope, I popped into WSL's bash terminal and installed Go, Node, and the Buffalo CLI. However, each invocation of `buffalo dev` took several seconds to run. Like, ten to fifteen seconds. I became overwhelmed with frustration and installed Antergos into a virtual machine and just rolled with that. And everything worked.
I just... I dunno. It's cool that WSL exists but every time I try to use it... meh.
