A collection of shell snippets and hacks for using WSL2 as a Linux development environment on Windows, most notably enabling systemd and snap support inside WSL2. It is a curated guide of scripts rather than an installable software package.
Use cases
- enable systemd in wsl2
- run snap packages inside wsl2
- set up wsl2 as a development environment
- auto-start services in wsl2
- make systemctl work in windows subsystem for linux
When to choose
- you want community-tested snippets to enable systemd or snaps on WSL2
- you are setting up a WSL2 dev environment and want practical shell hacks
When to avoid
- you need a supported, maintained tool rather than manual shell hacks
- you run a recent WSL2 version with native systemd support
- you need a licensed, packaged software product
