Hands-On Setup for Windows' Linux Toolchain

This course is a practical, demonstration-based walkthrough of getting Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) running alongside the tools people actually pair it with: Docker containers, the modern Windows Terminal, Visual Studio Code, and a dedicated video on installing Kali Linux under WSL2.

What's Covered

Setting up WSL2 on Windows
Running Docker containers through WSL2
Using Windows Terminal and Visual Studio Code alongside WSL2
Installing Kali Linux on WSL2

The course flags a real limitation up front: WSL2 currently has compatibility issues with nested virtualization in VMware Workstation and VirtualBox, so it's not the right choice if you depend on those hypervisors.

Who It's For

Beginners who want to get these tools running quickly through hands-on, follow-along demonstrations rather than a deep theoretical dive into Linux, Docker, or Windows internals.

About this course

Get started quickly with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) today! Learn how to spin up Docker containers on your computer and use the fantastic new Windows Terminal. I have also added a Kali Linux video to show you how to get Kali working with WSL 2.

Microsoft now ships Windows 10 with a Linux Kernel! Amazing to see how Microsoft have changed in recent years. No longer do they hate Linux, but they have now embraced it. You can learn Linux, Docker and other technologies easily using WSL 2.

WARNING: There are still issues running WSL 2 with VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. Don't use WSL 2 if you needed nested virtualization with those hypervisors. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

This course focuses on the following:

- WSL 2

- Docker using WSL 2

- Windows Terminal

- Visual Studio Code (Vs code)

- Kali Linux installation

I don't try to teach you everything about Linux, Docker or Windows. I'm only showing you how you can leverage these technologies to do amazing things. This course consists of practical demonstrations which you can follow - the best way to learn is hands-on learning, so follow me and set this up yourself.
