I have a confession to make: at the moment my rusEFI firmware and unit test setup is Windows + Linux via Praise Be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux

Why? Because naked Windows linking time for rusEFI unit tests on a fancy SSD Dell made in 2019 is unacceptable. It's all about NTFS not working well with small files blah blah blah they say. Virtual ext4 mapped into a large NTFS file turns out faster than native NTFS workflow.

Anyway.

Step 1: have Windows 10 not below, enable/install WLS 2, install Ubuntu from Windows Apps - Microsoft Store. Yes, install Ubunty from Windows Apps - Microsoft Store. Windows. Microsoft. Store. Ubuntu. I am not making this up!

Step 2: I am using VcXsrv Windows X Server see see https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

Step 3: install Eclipse into your ubuntu under WSL. Profit! Now I get acceptable linking speed for rusEFI unit tests and I can happily practice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development at a healthy pace

Soon you won't have to do your step 2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps

I’d just like to interject for a moment....

Someday we will convert Andrey to Linux.
