Asked By CreativeCoder42 On

Hey everyone! I recently upgraded to Windows 11 from using an Ubuntu virtual machine on my desktop, and now my VM isn't working anymore. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to set up a new Ubuntu VM or if I should just switch to using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instead. I'm still getting back into development and working on my first major apps that I might release, but I'm not super experienced. Any advice would be appreciated!

It really depends on what you're comfortable with. If you enjoyed using the Ubuntu VM and it suits your development needs, setting up a new one could be worthwhile. However, if you're just dabbling around with coding, WSL offers an easier setup and quick access to terminal commands without dealing with a full VM. Plus, it integrates nicely with Windows.

Yeah, WSL is pretty user-friendly and lets you maintain a similar terminal environment. If you're not set on specific software, it might be the way to go!
