I'm a part designer so I need to have Illustrator/Photoshop on my machines, so I need to have a windows with WSL with ubuntu on it.
All's nice, except sometimes it just ends up in some high level of bug sorcery.

I have a file, let's say, D:/project/image.svg. WSL sees it as /mnt/d/project/image.svg. For some reason, today I reached a point where WSL version was different form the windows one. So I had to literally open the same file twice and copy-paste it from windows to ubuntu. Before that I was trying to commit changes to git from WSL but it didn't see any - and I kept wondering why they don't get updated on the site.

Honestly, I'm at the verge of declaring that programming is actually magic.

    Do you need wsl for anything other than git?

    Why not go with github desktop?

    I run a personal hidden git with lfs and can still add people to work on it.

    If you need both operating enviromrnts then Ideally its better to run seperate winfows only and linux only machines. Do the needed stuff on one. Push. Pull on other. Work. Push..
    You should anyway keep work in progress on seperate branch, so this will fit in with that type of workflow.

    @CorneliusA one does not simply install wsl for git-scm. There is git for windows you know.

    @melezorus34 yes i do konw that and as per my previos post i did sugest using a windows based git on windows.
    OP did not make it clear why he neede linux because both ilistrator and photoshop do run on windows. The only use of linux he specified was git. So thats why i sugested he use github desktop instead..

    And if he needed linux for anythung else then it would be better to run actual linux on a seperate machine..
