Preface

First, we reached a consensus: Windows has brought great difficulties to beginners in programming. For example, the lack of a good package management system, the terminal environment is difficult to use, and the environment variables are difficult to configure, etc., all of which make Windows difficult to match Linux or even macOS in development experience.

The emergence of WSL seems to alleviate these annoyances. WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux, that is, the Windows subsystem for Linux. In the summer of 2019, Microsoft officially launched WSL 2: a WSL engine based on the latest virtualization technology. The powerful WSL 2 directly puts a Linux kernel into the WSL architecture, which rapidly improves the I/O efficiency of the Linux subsystem and allows the Linux subsystem to truly execute "all Linux native system calls". Whether it is WSL or WSL 2, we can use it to configure our Windows with a beautiful and usable learning and programming development environment, including:

• Original Unix-style terminal environment and development environment
• Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool for managing all packages in one line
• Directly write, develop, and debug your project in Visual Studio Code
