In this tutorial, you will learn how to run Linux natively on Windows using WSL2. You can now run a Linux kernel directly on windows Thankfully, Microsoft has been working on something sneaky. The command line sucks when comparing it to bash. If you ever hear a mac fan evangelize why the MAC is better suited for coding, you will quickly hear how bash and the Linux terminal kicks the Windows command line ass. The last step is to configure a icon for that VBscript.The Windows Vs Mac war has been raging on for decades. It also starts the dbus service, which is needed by gnome-terminal. By using VBScript to launch those commands, we can also avoid having the Windows Prompt appearing while it starts the above commands. After checking that VCXSRV is running, it will use WSL Bash to run Gnome-Terminal. This script will check if VCXSRV is running, if not, it starts it. SilentlyStartCommand "C:\Windows\System32\Bash.exe -ic 'DISPLAY=localhost:0 dbus-launch gnome-terminal'" SilentlyStartCommand "C:\Windows\System32\Bash.exe -ic 'sudo service dbus start'" SilentlyStartCommand """C:\Program Files\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe"" :0 -ac -terminate -lesspointer -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl" If Not CheckCommandIsRunning("vcxsrv.exe") Then
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) Set objItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(sQuery) SQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE CommandLine LIKE '%" + ProcessName + "%'" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & sComputerName & "\root\cimv2") To automate starting the X11 server and launching gnome-terminal, we can use VBScript, that way we can also hide the Windows Prompt terminal that would appear as a normal bat script.Ĭreate a launch-gnome-terminal.vbs script and insert the following content.Ĭ:\wslterm\launch-gnome-terminal.vbs Function CheckCommandIsRunning(ProcessName)
Installing gnome-terminalĪutomatically start vcxsrv and gnome-terminal using VBScript Let’s use simply download and install it as any normal Windows application. The first step, is to have a X11 server running on Windows. This way, I’`ll be running gnome-terminal and having one of the greatest WSL experiences using a native Linux Gnome Terminal as a Windows application. There is a trick to run an Windows X11 Server and expose the server to the applications running inside WSL. This new terminal will resolve many issues, but still, it’s a Windows terminal.
You can also find it on Github, now owned by Microsoft. Microsoft has a preview of the future Windows Terminal at its store at. The best solution, is to run a native Linux terminal from within WSL, then expose it using a Windows X11 Server. It lack tabs, integration with Linux CLI applications, colors and customization which real Linux terminal, like GnomeTerminal/Konsole/XTerm have. Windows Subsystem Linux default terminal Prompt could have more features. The best WSL Terminal is a Native Linux Terminal Sat, Intro
