12/21/2022, 7:10 PMCorporate IT gave us an XMAS present - the latest Windows patch Tuesday included the needed KB fix to allow use of the latest WSL - meaning finally can run webstorm and everything else from inside WSL. Working great so far. Now only use Windows for Office and such!

12/21/2022, 11:21 PMthat's what I was using up till just now 🙂 Try running webstorm from WSL instead of windows - it's a BIG improvement in performance/consistency.

12/22/2022, 1:20 AMI have been using JetBrains tools on native linux for many years - without that as a reference point I would have thought my windows+wsl was 'fast enough' too.

12/22/2022, 1:23 AMI see; I've currently got WSL configured to disallow any GUI applications, so it's effectively headless. Easy enough to switch that off tho
