At that time, WSL2 was installed by means of commands. Although time has passed and there are some significant changes. I recommend, again, the excellent article on WSL2. Which brings us to today’s article, where we’ll go into handling USB devices, with particular attention to microphones and webcams, under WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04. But wait, there’s more, on my journey, I discovered that BASHware can affect a Windows system via WSL. For me, who for many years worked installing and maintaining data servers for my clients, this was shocking news. It was replaced with Powershell®, which we have already talked about, and it is important for today’s topic.Īt the end of 2016, Microsoft surprised us with the news that its SQL Server® could be run on GNU/Linux.

I will add more of them throughout the text. To begin with, I will leave you a link to an article published in this blog, in order to facilitate knowledge of the technology I will be discussing. Study in WSL2 with Ubuntu: proprietary and free software At the time of writing these lines, almost everything we connect to our devices is through the so-called Universal Serial Bus (USB): cameras, microphones, external storage… It’s the fastest and safest way to synchronize and backup information between our mobile phone and computer! But what does all this have to do with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2 Ubuntu)? Let’s have a look.
