I had an error code after I installed Kali-linux. I followed your steps in enabling windows features virtual platform and it works fine now. THANKS A LOT
Hey Costa, I have one physical SSD but made a new partition of C namly H drive, and everything I do is in H. so I everytime have to run: cd /mnt/h/programming How can I open this by default? I did set this path by going in setting and selecting Ubuntu and set starting directory. But that didn't change when I open it. I believe the reason behind could be that wsl/Ubuntu doesn't have access to it? Also you have great structured content btw!!
I would suggest you'd save your programming projects inside the Linux distro, making sure they are always committed to github. If you want to keep them on D drive, try to change the default startingDirectory on Windows Terminal: stackoverflow.com/questions/59057687/how-to-change-default-directory-in-windows-subsystem-for-linux You could also try to move WSL filesystem to D as last resort. But then I don't know how the interaction with your IDE would work (VS Code for example): stackoverflow.com/questions/38779801/move-wsl-bash-on-windows-root-filesystem-to-another-hard-drive Thank you!
@@TechWithCosta I was able to solve my issue by using different profile at startup of Terminal (ubuntu which have linux icon instead of ubuntu icon). I also thought of your first suggestion of moving all my programming files to WSL/Ubuntu but since it's not the main OS, I have some trust issues moving all the file. I use it as playground and for small programs. I also have to download and set up my dev environmental from scratch.
I have a small doubt regarding the WSL, which is better a dual boot or using WSL as, I want to do my chip designing project in linux as some of the software supports only in linux OS, so which one would be better for me. please suggest me.
If you really need Windows and the Linux software you need works properly on a WSL2 setup (with UI interaction), I would prefer that instead of Dual Booting. The latter is not so convenient. Check this to test learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps You can launch UI Linux apps with WSL2 now. If WSL2 does not solve it, just run a Linux virtual machine with VirtualBox (if you have enough hardware to work with). If you don't need Windows at all, go full Linux. 1. Windows + WSL2 (test 1st) 2. VirtualBox VM (enough hardware) 3. Dual Boot 4. Full Linux It depends on your needs and tests :)
Everytime i run wsl command, always return with message : The system cannot find the path specified. I got frustated, I've tried many tutorials and none of it worked. Do you have any solution ?
Have you enabled the Windows Subsystem for Linux, Virtual Machine Platform and Hyper-V on "Turn Windows features on or off"? Then restart the machine. Plus make sure Windows updates are up to date :)
Disable the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" on "Turn Windows features on or off", that should remove the folder :) But be careful to not delete your distros and / or data in them.
hi Costa iv struggled to install wsl even going through your instructions and also used powershell but doesnt work. i use windows 11 home too as well. when i run the command wsl --update, it tries to update till it gets to 90% then it stops to say "Element no found" i have checked everything correctly in the "Turn windows features on or off" window but still no luck. would be glad if you could help. i checked both the virtual machine platform and windows system for linux and restarted but it still didnt work

how can we make multiple user accounts like parallel space in windows private users like function in phone , i want to use a different fingerprint for every user that only i could know and nobody can find other user accounts that how many users are in laptop , sometimes we can see user profiles in settings but i want to hide every account even in boot or login page like it should be a secret window laptop irrespective of other user data or even folder , or apps or anything , i want to make private window data for me , and other user accounts some for work , office , management , one for linux etc . that doesn't even should show that other user have made a folder or installed an app it shouldn't be seen in other user accounts, like in one laptop 2 or 3 different laptop (user) working privately that nobody can't find only i should know . i think i have explained to u correctly ? please give me some solution.

Fantastic. I was having trouble with installing it before and this video helped. It was informative but concise and straight to the point.
Happy to hear 🙏🏻
Fantastic ... useful session, appreciate your enthusiasm and detailing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this detailed information
Crystal clear. 👌 thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Well done, very clear, thank you. Would be nice as well to see how to install a desktop environment on wsl.
Nice suggestion. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
excellent video! To the point, and clear
Many thanks! 🙏🏻

Hey, thank's for the video. I want to know if it is possible to show the ubuntu desktop or we are obliged to juste with the terminal. Thank's again
Yes you can run some GUI apps, depending on your needs. Check this learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps
I think only the kali distro will do that,
@@pippaknuckle thank's for your respond. Using the same manner of instalation (with wsl) ?

Can we do it on phone?

I did not understand your question...
is it works for legecy mode ? or just uefi
I think WSL does not depend on Legacy or UEFI modes. However, your BIOS should have hardware virtualization enabled (Intel VT-x or AMD-V for example).
very neat
Thanks
Glad to help 🙌
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl
The system cannot find the path specified.
Do you have the latest Windows updates?
Does WSL has security vulnerability?
What do you mean? Linux will run inside Windows, so I guess it depends if Windows is compromised.
@@TechWithCosta Thanks!
