For those who don't know the WSL version used in this video is WSL 1. Windows has released WSL 2 which has GUI support innately. If you have recently installed WSL then maybe you are having WSL 2
Just a small note: Do not uncomment the "do not bell on tab-completion" line. That will make your "d" key stop working in the terminal, and you are then unable to execute sudo commands after that. In the case that you do uncomment it by error, you need to go to %appdata%\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.... and find the rootfs then go to /etc/inputrc and edit it in notepad :P I found out that the hard way. Didnt take long to find the fix though...
@@JoePerkins666 that's strange. That must be a strange coincidence then, because when I fixed/commented out the line again with a text editor in Windows, then restarted WSL it worked again. I will try to duplicate the error again one of these days.
When you make tutorials as these. Keep in mind that the people following along hasen't used Linux before. For me this is the case. So when you type through and say "Now save that", or "now let's exit" then I'm thinking - HOW!!?
@@abdullahyousef3596 Sounds like you're pretty new to Linux stuff, then. Vim may be a little intimidating for you, if that's the case. (I myself still use nano...) But nvim will give you the same error if you don't have it installed. Also, look again at 16:55, and you can see some of his aliases.
I'd take 5 error sounds leaving the text than a single nothing or a line that means nothing, and now I have to rewrite the line hoping I'm not mistakenly doing it again and screwing it up.
It is still a pre-beta one: basic things like (1) Ubuntu can not talk to each other (2) GPU does not work inside Kuberneste of a Ubuntu etc..Very basic.
Do you think one can survive with configuring NeoVim on Windows itself? I really want to take this NeoVim journey. I love the Vim Motions, but VS Code is just very laggy with the Vim Extension and by itself I get a lot of lag from it and I don't even have such heavy base of Extensions. Would like to know your guys take on this.
You can, but you'll have to be diligent with dependencies and environment variables. Neovim is really a Linux first kind of software where it is just way easier to install dependencies for plugins, I've heard that some plugins might not work as well on Win as well. I haven't done it myself as I'm a Linux guy, but it certainly should be easier for Linux. Just take the leap and install Linux. From there it's just a couple of shell commands away.
@@Aglv_314 thing is I had just installed it and everything was working and then I installed some plugin that messed it up idk why but I will try to update and install again tnx for the tip
great introduction video. I still somehow couldnot scroll up or down only using my keyboard. I dont have Pagedown/up key and i tried to activate using Fn button with arrows. It still didnt work. When a huge amount of data appears, i would like to scroll by keyboard. Anybody has tried it ?
Found this somewhere, try setting the display to this, helped me. export DISPLAY=$(awk '/nameserver / {print $2; exit}' /etc/resolv.conf 2>/dev/null):0
doing treight to point. thats not for beginers. neuraldir what the fuck is that. jumpin from folder to folder. this is for people who already using it.

How do I access it?
X-ming won’t be needed soon, I believe. A pending update to Windows will enhance WSL, adding GUI support, making it WSLG.
"Let's use vim"
....
"okay let's use nano"
relatable 🤣
Subbed after 30 seconds. This is the way I like my information presented. Keep it up!
Straight to the point with many information packed! Awesome content!
would you mind do a do tutorial on the wsl2 GUI setup in a bit more detail?

It works fine for me after uncommenting it.

@@alcaeo Let's say a wizard did it.
@@alcaeo %appdata% is for roaming it actually %localappdata%\packages\canonicalgrouplimited
@@JoePerkins666 Yeah , I was gonna say , WTF ?
I installed WSL on Win11 and it doesn't need to install Xming X server in order to display GUI apps. Thanks for other great tips!
why would you want to get rid of the error sound ? Maybe you should try to find out what the error was .
if you install zsh, disable the beep by adding "setopt No_Beep" to your .zshrc
shouldn't you write "OFF" after "set visualbell" in 9:20 ?
I got Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0 :(
same here!

hi, does anyone knows the steps to create a bash script in debian WSL?
Great Video, keep up the good work!
Latest update to wsl, Wsl2 supports gui by default. No need for xming.
When you initiate the Ubuntu, how the terminal directly goes to the Desktop directory. (beginner ask)

It is still a pre-beta one: basic things like (1) Ubuntu can not talk to each other (2) GPU does not work inside Kuberneste of a Ubuntu etc..Very basic.

Xming is not needed as Windows 11 supports WSL2 and it allows you to do this.
Thanks! Informative!
شكراً ❤
