Another couple of typos: in it's POSIX environment should be: in its POSIX environment "Its" is the possessive form of "it". so it cannot run any programs that need one, IE: Browser should be: so it cannot run any programs that need one, i.e.: Browser ("IE" might be confused with "Internet Explorer") it can use them with it's software just fine as well should be: it can use them with its software just fine as well termianl -> terminal On the 02_WSL_Ubuntu_setup.md page: and talks about work-flow in general. They are much more concise than the over-view doc. should be: and talks about workflow in general. They are much more concise than the overview doc. I'm not sure "Window's" would be the right way to indicate the possessive here. Also, could you explain in what sense this "user" has any independent existence from your Windows User? I mean, don't you have to be already logged in as your Windows User to even launch the WSL terminal? My impression was that this password was mainly intended to be used as the "sudo" password, i.e. the root password used to add software and perform any administrative actions within the WSL environment. Essentially all of your Window's files can be viewed and modified by this user, so keep that password safe and strong. Perhaps: Essentially all of the files within your Microsoft Windows filesystem can be viewed and modified by this user, so keep that password safe and strong. premissions -> permissions On the topic of permissions, in the Ubuntu WSL from the Microsoft Store, Perhaps rewrite the following (to avoid confusion with the concept of "root" user): This is the root level of your Ubuntu user. as: This is the top level of the home directory of your Ubuntu user. You will need to run a quick couple commands in order to run updates software updater. should be: You will need to run a quick couple commands in order to run software updates and install new software packages. (unless you've done "apt-get update", the "apt-cache search" command won't find the package name that you're seeking, e.g. "apt-cache search openconnect" doesn't find it unless you first do the "apt-get update" -- by the way, it might be nice to implement the /dev/tun tunnel device, so that openconnect and other similar networking and VPN tools could be used within WSL). Eventually, as this grow, we hope to include exploring multi-distro installations typo on "grow": Eventually, as this grows, we hope to include exploring multi-distro installations On the topic of "functional feedback about how the WSL app works", [x] Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste Wouldn't it have been more similar to other POSIX operating systems [x] Use Ctrl+C/V as Copy/Paste Allowing middle-click to paste would go a very long way toward making Also, it would be helpful to have a way to specify the initial number of On the page "04_updating_terminal.md" it seems strange to use "sudo" sudo touch .profile |
Thanks for this! I've just now had a chance to read through it. I will take a deeper look at this over the next two weeks and try to answer as many of these items as I can. Since you still have context here would you be able to make PR that we can look over: Yes on all the typos, and the password change looks good too, but I'll need to take a longer look at the rest. I also probably overuse sudo which is why you'll see it used incorrectly. If you understand how to use sudo well then please update those sections too. Also, my knowledge about Linux and Windows isn't that deep yet and I may not be the best person to answer some of these questions, so I open them to the community to answer as well. If you are confident that you know the topic, please add it in the PR as well. Thanks again for taking the time to look into this at that level! Let me know if you need anything or if there is anything I can do to help you. |
Updating the title: Before: **typo on the 01_preface.md page ** After: [P1][01_preface.md][Typos][Content] Content enhancements and Questions. Is that an appropriate title? |
Hi Michael,
There's a typo on the 01_preface.md page (extra word "to"):

Thanks for putting together the article. This WSL is very useful.
It's great for running the "lftp" program, to speed up downloads
from remote servers by using multiple connections, e.g.
lftp -c "mirror --use-pget-n=4 --verbose sftp://username:passwword@hostname/pathname"
Cheers,
Ned.
