WSL2 all the way. I didn't like Chocolatey.

Just make sure that your actual code/project files are also inside of your WSL (https://dev.to/ajeet/so-you-have-installed-windows-subsystem...)

There's a thing called WSL Bridge that VS Code hooks into, or uses somehow in order to run VS Code in Windows, but it is accessing and running code that's inside the WSL.

I used various terminal programs but the most recent one I used was Windows Terminal: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk...

This alleviated many issues I had and I ended up getting my whole team onboard with the same setup.

We were running Angular apps, and also vanilla JS stuff with Bootstrap, Gulp, Webpack, Live Server.
