Comment Comment by rtodea I recently migrated to Windows from MacOS and have found the following paid apps really helpful:1. [Pengwin](https://www.whitewaterfoundry.com/) - a customized Debian distribution with helpful scripts for setting up a dev environment2. [X410](https://x410.dev/) - a customized X11 ServerThey made all the setup really easy. I reuse some of the scripts from Penguin in the Ubuntu distribution.One caveat for those who want to try WSL2, which is available if you subscribe to Windows Insider program, is the instability.Some times, after an update, your WSL will not start. After some restarts everything is back to normal. parent rtodea 5 years ago
