In this article, I'll provide a quick overview covering setting up Kali Linux in WSL and configuring a desktop environment.įirst up, you'll want to make sure you have WSL installed, and you want to make sure you're using version 2 and not version 1 - see this Microsoft article for the differences between the versions along with a link to instructions on how to install WSL. When I discovered Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), I decided to move back to Windows as my "daily driver" and I really feel that I have the best of both worlds. That being said, the majority of my time is spent writing code for our internal project management application (C#, Visual Studio), administering our production database (SQL Server), and administering our internal Active Directory domain and Office 365/Exchange 365 environment. In my small network environment, Linux is the backbone - running our public website, our Zabbix system monitoring, my Subversion code repositories, our time clock, our centralized logging and security server, and our MeshCentral server. If you're not a Linux aficionado, I would strongly recommend taking the time to learn it. I briefly courted Red Hat and had an extended love affair with Gentoo, but I've since chosen Debian as my long-term Linux partner. I've been a Linux guy for over 20 years at this point, falling in love with Linux back in 2001.
