@mzeffect Depends! If a laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a dual-core Intel Core i3 processor with 2 GHz doesn't count as decent, then I probably should :)

@sallai 8GB sounds nice, but 2 GHz and i3 is mediocre.
You have to consider you are running Windows and WSL at the same time. You can also try other distros, I'm for example minimalist and use Debian. Since a few days you can even add your own distros.

@FilipeRamalho Fair enough!

@sallai Maybe it gets better with the Springs Creators Update, I'm an Insider and in the last few months it got better and better.

@FilipeRamalho We shall hope :) Still prefer Linux over Windows when it comes to development though.
Marvelous.....
Found this on reddit
FUCK YES! I FUCKING DID IT. I'M FUCKING RUNNING I3 ON LINUX ON MOTHER FLIPPING WINDOWS!!!
I'm sorry but I don...
Decided to give WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) a chance.........it was a BAD idea.
I go to the directory of my Node project and do "yarn" to install the packages.
Bash freezes while Yarn is linking dependencies. At this point I don't even know if it's still doing its job in the background or not, so I try to Ctrl+C.
Ctrl+C doesn't work either, I have to force-close the console.
When I try to open bash again, it doesn't even open. The only way to solve this is to re-login to Windows.
I appreciate Microsoft's intent in making their OS a better home for developers, but they still have a long way to go.
P.S.: No, this isn't a Yarn issue, everything works perfectly in both Linux and Windows :)
