Terminals, command lines, and UI's - Windows Terminal & WSL Combined Coolness!
Summary
In this session, Mike Nelson gives a preview of Ubuntu running within the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environment. They start by launching various applications using the graphical interface. They then demonstrate the graphics capabilities of WSL by showcasing the 3D modeling application Blender, which runs smoothly even on a device with limited resources. The speaker highlights that Ubuntu can utilize the power of an NVIDIA graphics card for enhanced performance.
Moving on, they mention a PowerShell module called WSL that provides command-line functionality similar to WSL.exe but with some additional features. They specifically mention the "WSL with system" feature, which allows direct interaction with the Microsoft kernel. This feature enables users to make changes to the read-only image and export it for further modifications, showcasing the unique capability of running Linux in the Windows environment.
