    I absolutely loathe WSL at work. Users with local non-AD connected systems (which bypass GPOs) install it, then start making highly insecure configurations that result in PII nightmares.

    It’s a goddamned cancer riddled bastard child of Linux and Windows that needs the Ol’ Yeller treatment.

      My work would be impossible without WSL, and yes I am guilty of hiding from the security systems… Because the security systems are so invasive they keep locking files I’m trying to open so IDEs don’t even work properly under Windows.

      Found your problem. Nothing to do with Linux/WSL.

      Windows that needs the Ol’ Yeller treatment.
