* Install windows subsystem for linux
|
|
|
|
To get underway we need to enable [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux][wsl]]. This requires a 64bit installation
|
|
of Windows 10.
|
|
|
|
#+NAME: Enable the wsl feature
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
|
powershell.exe Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
|
|
After enabling the wsl feature we need to download the debian installer and
|
|
open it.
|
|
|
|
#+NAME: Download the debian installer
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
|
cd "C:\Users\jmhbnz\Downloads"
|
|
powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o debian.appx https://aka.ms/wsl-debian-gnulinux
|
|
powershell.exe Add-AppxPackage .\debian.appx
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the installer runs we need to manually enter a username and password for
|
|
the unix account that wsl will use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configure windows ten
|
|
|
|
Enable all tray icons to be visible and restart explorer
|
|
|
|
#+NAME: Configure tray icons
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
|
powershell.exe Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Micorosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer EnableAutoTray 0
|
|
powershell.exe ps explorer | kill
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Additionally I normally take the following actions:
|
|
|
|
** Update taskbar layout
|
|
|
|
- Hide the search box.
|
|
- Hide the task view button.
|
|
- Unpin all but explorer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Update start menu layout
|
|
|
|
- Unpin all applications from start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Lock screen configuration
|
|
|
|
- Untick show tips
|
|
- Set background to be picture and use in folder
|
|
- Remove status detailed or otherwise for apps on lock screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
