terminal+wsl2+arch

Combined with Windows Terminal and WSL2, Linux development environment can be well combined with WIN platform, coupled with the support of Arch, it is really cool to burst.

The general idea is to first install Windows Terminal in Win, and start WSL2, then install ARCH, set X Server, and finally happy Coding.

Windows Terminal

Search and download in the Microsoft Store, can be modified, refer to Windows Terminal

My basic configuration is as follows, mainly setting the font and turning on the transparency.

wsl2

Wsl2 requires that the system version should be in Windows 10, Version 2004, Build 19041 and above.

You can enable the WSL by using the Control Panel -> Programs -> Enable or Disable Windows Features -> Select Windows Subsystem and VM Platform for Linux, or start PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command to start the required components

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
Copy the code

After the restart, you need to download and install the latest WSL2 Linux kernel update package for your X64 computer here.

Finally, open Powershell and run the following command to set the default version of WSL to WSL2

wsl --set-default-version 2
Copy the code

In a nutshell, the difference between WSL and WSL2 is that WSL implements Linux functionality in the form of instruction translation, while WSL2 is based on hyper-V virtualization technology.

Arch

I won’t bore you with the appeal of Arch.

Install the arch WSL

Download Arch.zip in Yuk7 / ARCHWSL-Releases and install it according to yuk7/ ARCHWsl-Wiki.

In the source update

Once inside arch WSL, execute the following command (as root)

passwd  Set root password
Copy the code

Open /etc/pacman.d/ mirrorList with vim or nano and uncomment the source under China.

Run the following command

Initialize keyRing
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate
pacman -Syu
Copy the code

Open /etc/pacman.conf with vim, uncomment #Color and add it to the end of the file

[archlinuxcn]
Server = https://mirrors.aliyun.com/archlinuxcn/$arch
Copy the code

Run the following command

pacman -Syy
pacman -S archlinuxcn-keyring
Copy the code

Create a user

Common users can perform this operation to prevent Linux from running improperly.

-g wheel Add user to wheel user group
useradd -m -G wheel <youname>
# set password
passwd <youname>
Copy the code

Edit /etc/sudoers to uncomment # $wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL so that wheel group users can use root permissions.

In Powershell, go to the arch. exe folder and set the default WSL login user and the default WSL

.\Arch.exe config --default-user <youname>
wsl -s Arch
Copy the code

Installing Common Software

# Basic Linux command set
sudo pacman -S base-devel
# yay
sudo pacman -S yay
# yay for source

sudo pacman -S starship
Copy the code

Refer to Starship and add it in.zshrc

# Check what sources are available
nrm ls
# Select Taobao Source
nrm usr taobao
Copy the code

Enable the X Server graphics environment

Windows installation VcXsrv

First, install VcXsrv on Windows

Locate the installation path of the software and perform operations on the two executable files vCXsrv.exe and xlaunch.exe: Right click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change High DPI Settings -> Check the Alternative High DPI scaling behavior to make VcXsrc look sharp on a high-resolution display.

Open xlaunch.exe by default. In the Extra Settings screen, check Disable Acess Control, enter -ac in Additional Parameters for VcXsrv, and save the configuration file. You can then double-click the file to start directly or move it to the Startup folder.

Configuration of the arch

First you need to install xorg
sudo pacman -S xorg xorg-xinit
Copy the code

Add to.zshrc

# wsl settings
export DISPLAY=`cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'`:0
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
Copy the code

Configure the display output address

Edit /etc/x11/xwrapper. config to modify or add

allowed_users=anybody
Copy the code

You can then use the Xeyes command to test whether the display works.

The problem

Most of the problems can be solved by referring to Known issues.

Select One Large Window for some GUIs that cannot be rendered in the MULTI Window mode of VCXSRV, such as DWM.

The last

At this point, the basic environment is set up, arch can be used in WIN, and you can also use win commands in ARCH, such as code. To open vscode, you can also use explorer. Open Windows Explorer, you can also download Docker Desktop in Windows, and then use Docker directly in ARCH, which is very convenient.
