For this tutorial I’m using Windows 11 and am also going to integrate Visual Studio Code with WSL so you’ll want to install this too.
In order to use WSL, you must be using Windows version 10 (build 19041 or higher) or any version of Windows 11. If this sounds interesting, read on as I walk you through setting up a Python development environment in WSL. The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment - including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications - directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup.” What is Windows Subsystem for Linux | Microsoft Docs It’s called Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). There’s never been a better time for Windows users to start learning those skills since there’s finally a way to have our cake and eat it too. But these days, most employers want their devs to know their way around the Linux command line.
It seems like everyone is using Linux or Mac for software development these days, but if you’re a windows user, you may have looked into what you needed to do to be able to use Linux on your PC and found that dual-booting or virtual machines sounded like too much trouble.
