Running a fully riced, headless Arch on WSL feels like an OS organ transplant Microsoft didn’t authorize. 30ms cold starts and 0% bloat. It’s pure blasphemy, and I’m never going back. 💀🔥 #archlinux #wsl2 #riced
Here is how I use a corporate sanctioned Windows managed laptop as a perfectly cromulent headless Linux server for sane (?🤔) development workflow, it is, of course, containers all the way down !
