Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Acquisition in Visual Studio

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Demonstrates that Visual Studio now installs a WSL distro from Visual Studio and runs a Linux build/debug cycle without SSH. Workflow checks prerequisites (nested virtualization, Windows features), enables them, reboots, then installs g++, GDB, rsync, make, cmake, zip inside WSL. Project is auto-retargeted to an Ubuntu distribution, CMake cache configures, F5 builds in WSL, launches the debugger and shows output in the Linux debug console—installation and debugging succeed.
