Bugs:
- setup-wsl: fix broken /img/WSL/* image paths (now bundle-relative;
images were broken on the published post) + better alt text
- pi-docker-swarm: remove broken missing cluster.webp reference
- archetypes/posts.md: fix malformed {{ }} template so 'hugo new' works
- rename arrstack/arrstack.md -> index.md so it's a proper leaf bundle
- static/admin/config.yml: fix 'htpps' -> 'https' site_url typo
- fix silently-dropped <placeholder> text (unsafe=false dropped them):
wrap <distro>/<username>/<user>/<version>/<ip address> etc in backticks
across setup-wsl, securing-ssh, pi-docker-swarm, mc-server-on-docker
Security:
- render-link.html: add rel=noopener noreferrer to external target=_blank
- extend-footer.html: fix rel='me' trapped in class attr (broke Mastodon
verification); add proper rel/target
- static/admin/index.html: pin Sveltia CMS to 0.172.4 via jsDelivr + SRI
Performance:
- hugo.toml: ignoreFiles for *.aseprite/*.bak (stop shipping source art;
non-page files 23 -> 13)
- video shortcode: preload=metadata; image shortcode: loading=lazy decoding=async
- sws.toml: drop SPA page-fallback so missing paths return real 404 (404.html)
Content/SEO:
- normalize tag casing (HomeLab/RemoteAccess/SSH/HUGO -> lowercase),
fix 'prodcutivity' typo, arrstack tags:[""] -> [], add welcome description
- delete stray index.md.bak

## **Introduction**
|
|
|
|
WSL stands for _Windows Subsystem for Linux_ which means we have the Linux
|
|
kernel inside of windows. This is huge news for developers or people who just
|
|
want to try Linux.
|
|
|
|
## **Prerequisites**
|
|
|
|
- Enable virtualisation in BIOS
|
|
|
|
## **Setup**
|
|
|
|
Open Powershell in Administrator mode
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
wsl --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> You may have to restart the device, I Highly recommend you do
|
|
|
|
Go to the Microsoft store and search for a Linux distribution. I prefer
|
|
to use the "Ubuntu" distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed, go ahead and run the distribution, after it finishes setting
|
|
itself up it will ask you for a username and password. These credentials are
|
|
separate from the host system so you can make them whatever you want.
|
|
|
|
And that's it you have WSL and a Linux distribution setup, now go and do
|
|
something awesome.
|
|
|
|
## **Optional**
|
|
|
|
I use the windows terminal app to run the Ubuntu distribution, it makes
|
|
customising the environment a lot easier. To download it head over to the
|
|
Microsoft store and search for Windows Terminal and download it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you login to WSL it will not default to your home directory. To fix that go
|
|
to the Windows Terminal Settings look for Ubuntu or your distributions name and
|
|
change the Starting directory to
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
\\wsl$\<distro>\home\<username>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Be sure to change `<distro>` to your distributions name
|
|
|
|
> Be sure to change `<username>` to your username
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## **Conclusion**
|
|
|
|
Well done you have managed to setup WSL and use Linux inside of windows.
|
|
No go and enjoy the freedom of Linux !!
