Although I had long anticipated the release of Ubuntu Pro for WSL, I kept postponing its review and have only recently begun testing and preparing materials. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been focused on refining the WSL configurations published in the separate wsl-configs repository, embedding configuration code blocks and their full versions into site pages, and developing the reference section.
In parallel with writing new posts and developing the website, I continue working on WSL configurations. I collect, test, and document settings, gradually publishing them in the wsl-configs repository.
About a year ago, I decided to start learning again and chose the DevOps direction. I no longer had access to infrastructure where I could deploy projects and experiment, so I began looking for a convenient way to work locally.
At first, I tried VirtualBox, but quickly realized that it wasn’t for me. Setting up environments took too much time, and the resources of my Surface simply weren’t enough for comfortable work.
Then I turned my attention to WSL, specifically its second version. It proved to be exactly what I needed: easy installation and setup, fast deployment of instances, integration with Windows and VS Code, and at the same time the feeling of working on Linux. Since then, I have been using WSL daily for learning, experiments, and projects.
