The discussion centers on the comparison between using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2) and a USB bootable version of Ubuntu for daily coding tasks. Users express that while WSL2 is convenient for running Linux applications alongside Windows, it may not provide the best performance for development, especially when using IDEs. USB bootable Ubuntu is deemed slow and not recommended for development due to file system limitations. Virtual machines, particularly with VirtualBox, are suggested as a viable alternative, although they come with their own challenges regarding resource allocation and compatibility with WSL2.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for hobbyist coders, developers considering a switch to Linux, and users evaluating the best environment for coding tasks on limited hardware.
indeed.pbuk said:Yes, it's worth keeping the last one or two kernels in the grub menu so you can revert if necessary.
I was actually thinking to decrease it lol. But I am not going to do that.I also think 3 is good.pbuk said:Yes, this keeps things tidy: I don't see any point in increasing the limit for the reason mentioned by @PeterDonis
Well I kind of bored with the Wİndows look. So I did not wanted to go another distro that looks like windows itself...I have also used Ubuntu and I don't like it somehow.pbuk said:This is more about the Gnome 3 desktop than it is about Fedora. This is the same desktop that is used in the core distribution of Ubuntu, and I dislike it intensely!
