1. how can i change the network the same with local computer

2. wsl2 is more of a pain to setup for lan.

3. Installed Debian with wsl-2.internet not working so far.
   /etc/resolv.conf & /etc/wsl.conf are place as per stackoverflow but still facing the issue.
   Do you any remedy to this ?

4. Very useful video for beginner. It is wonderful.

   Off topic: WSL is a dick move from micro$oft.
   It essenentually undermined and backstab virtual machine software such as VMware.

5. Thanks Chris once again your channel helped me

6. WINTUNTU

7. how do I access the filesystem I would like to be able to access my files manusally through explorer

8. I installed and set up WSL 2 today. One thing you forgot to mention, the user need to enable virtualisation feature from their bios/uefi to actually enable this.
   My install failed the first time since I've forgotten to do so.

9. Hey Titus I got an Error when trying to download/setup version Linux (Kali) it gives me a Microft Store Login error @#$%^ :S :/ … What should I Do cause I want Kali Linux subsystem !!!

10. 4:03 When?

11. Hi Titus. I'm currently facing a problem with WSL2. I don't have network connectivity by default. When I switch to WSL1, I get network again (without any tweak or configuration). Windows subsystem for linux and Virtual machine platforme are enabled (+ linux kernel installed). I've found a lot of posts about the subject but no "clear" solution. Do we have to activate "Hyper-V" too? I don't think so. Thanks.

12. How do I donate to your channel? I signed up for a Patreon account but I can't find a way to send creators money.

13. just use virtualbox if you have the pc specs for it

    WSL is running at like 20 fps for me when my virtual machine runs flawlessly

14. Dude, you know … too much to make good videos for beginners… Sorry, but it just seemed that way.

15. Many people disagree but I think in the next few years Windows will be a Distro

16. This will be very helpful for musicians who rely on windows for VST support, and still love linux.

17. WSL is not Linux!
    It is sort of fake marketing. The kernel is Windows not Linux. It's like "Wine".
    When you get this Ubuntu up and running in WSL, it is a binary compatible Ubuntu. You can exchange all the binaries with a real Ubuntu Linux.
    Only one thing is different: There is no Linux kernel.
    Try these three commands in WSL:
    uname -a
    ls /proc
    ps aux
    And a Linux user will see it right away, it is no Linux environment. It is something similar.
    WSL is great and all Windows users who will learn Linux command line should get it.

18. Can we virtualize MacOS on Windows using QEMU with WSL2? I know that we can use some virtualbox image, but is this possible?

19. Ubindows

20. I am using anaconda python 3 on windows10. Is it advisable to install it using wsl2 instead of directly on windows10?

21. Hello sir, how to enable audio for WSL2. I've installed Ubuntu & Xfce4 desktop but I couldn't enable audio in Xfce4 desktop. Same problem in Kali with kex GUI. Couldn't enable audio. Could you help fix this issue?

22. video starts from 2:48

23. Nice video. Unfortunately my woes are with the confounded resolv.conf and VPN nameservers. Whenever on VPN, I can never get name resolution to happen consistently over sessions. It never "just works."

24. 1:46

25. invalid command line option –set-default-version 2 !!!!!!

26. How do I allow usb to work on WSL windows. I tried installing checkra1n but it says doesn’t support usb

27. Hello Chris,

    Thank you for this video. I was just attempting to set this configuration up today on my Windows 10 machine, and after downloading Ubuntu, the installation successful message came up, and the prompt was asking for my UNIX user name and then password.

    The video I watched for the setup (yes, it was another YouTube channel!) just showed entering a simple 5 letter first name, hitting enter, and entering a password. However, when I typed my first name and hit enter, I received this message "enter a username to match the regular expression configured via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable".
