wslu is a collection of shell utilities for the Windows Subsystem for Linux, including tools for path conversion, desktop shortcut creation, system information display, and opening links/files in Windows from WSL. It is written in Bash and packaged for many WSL-supported distributions.
Use cases
- convert Linux paths to Windows paths in WSL
- create desktop shortcuts for Linux GUI apps on Windows
- get Windows environment variables from WSL
- open URLs or files in the default Windows browser from WSL
- display WSL system information in the terminal
- sync time between Windows and WSL or mount all drives
When to choose
- you use WSL daily and want convenient interop between Linux and Windows
- you need to launch Linux GUI applications via Windows shortcuts
- you want a wslfetch/neofetch-style system info tool inside WSL
When to avoid
- you are not using Windows Subsystem for Linux
- you need actively maintained software - the project is discontinued
- you rely on the Ubuntu built-in version, which is no longer supported upstream
