Summary

In this chapter, we learned that by using WSL2, we double the universe of software that is available to us. We installed WSL2 and then Ubuntu, and saw how Windows Terminal autodiscovers Ubuntu and provides easy tab and pane access to it.

In addition, we installed nginx using the apt package manager, and saw how WSL2 provides transparent network access to allow us to easily access nginx from Windows. We also learned how WSL2 and Windows integrate to provide easy file access between both systems.

Next up, let's dive into the various customization options that Windows Terminal provides through its flexible settings.json system.
