Abstract
Windows is a great platform and one of the most popular operating systems in the world, but we can’t deny the sheer number of applications built and the workloads running on the Linux operating system. Microsoft has embraced this with the Windows Subsystem for Linux and other open source projects and other areas Microsoft has been contributing. In this chapter, we are going to learn about tools like VSCode and WSL remote extensions that enable developers to seamlessly develop Linux-based applications on the Windows operating system with all the necessary tools and runtime, in the comfort of your Linux environment running on top of the Windows Subsystem for Linux without worrying about Windows-Linux path translations, sharing files, or any other cross-operating system challenges.
