WSL definitely. It's a gateway drug I've peddled to many a developer.
4 0 ReplyThis is why I had to switch. It was just too clunky to get CUDA and Pytorch and Tensorflow set up in Windows. In Linux, it was a total breeze.
Edit: And then I thought, "well, wouldn't it be great if I didn't have to use Windows to use Linux?"

WSL on my work machine is a godsend. Otherwise I would not be able to tolerate the dev environment on windows.

1 0 ReplyI peddle that to my coworkers for no other reason than because I don't know how to deal with Windows garbage when they run into a problem. It's more for my sanity than anything else.
