Using Unix sockets with WSL2 on Windows Store -> How to Use Unix Sockets with WSL2 on Windows Store
Hey there! So, I've been using WSL2 with a yubikey for gpg, which is pretty sweet. Basically, this setup uses a Unix socket to Windows gpg-agent and pageant (if you're curious, you can find all the details in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant). It's been working great for about a month or so, until I recently installed the Windows Store version for WSLg support on Windows 10. But now, my WSL2 isn't talking to the Win gpg-agent anymore. I've searched GitHub for answers, but no luck yet. Figured I'd post here and see if there are others in the same boat or who might have some tips on this pesky socket issue. Thanks!

If you want to use Yubikey from WSL2 (socat passthrough), install gpg4win 3.1.16, NOT the latest (4.0) one
You should use the latest wsl2-ssh-peagent, which has a new --gpgConfigBasepath option to allow you to specify the .gnupg directory in Windows.

Tell HN: GitHub no longer supporting unauthenticated `git://`
sshCommand = C:/utils/OpenSSH-Win64/ssh.exe
For GPG, the only things I've done is to use gpg-agent and set up a passthrough for gpg-agent to WSL2 for both OpenSSH and GPG via https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant/ since I do development both natively on Windows and via WSL2.

SSH Agent Restriction (new in OpenSSH 8.9)
Yeah, I've been using a Yubikey for a bit over a year and I'm already a huge fan of the way it works with SSH/Git. It's a bit more of a pain to set up with WSL2 since you need something like https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant but it's absolutely worth the setup time.

How to use Windows ssh-agent on a WSL2 distribution to avoid entering SSH key passphrases?
I use PuTTY's pageant and https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant to share keys between environments but you still need to enter your passphrase at power-on. Window's ssh-agent looks like a better solution. No need to re-enter the passphrase and no need to keep the private key around.

It absolutely 100% can be true.
As an example: Windows Services for Linux 2 used a special init daemon to interact with the host OS.
That meant no systemd. That meant that the `systemctl` program wasn't there.
This baffled legions, armies, of wannabe sysadmins.

People on the whole have no idea how this stuff works, and they just copy magic incantations from StackOverflow to get stuff to happen. If that doesn't work, then this OS is broken. The end.
For these guys, WSL was broken.

He "fixed" it. Systemd now works in WSL2. All those guides for noobs now work. Everyone is happy.
In a world where tools like Flatpak and Snap are proliferating and it's driving deep divisions between Linux distros, if you think the average person struggling with Linux is going to use `ldd` to work out where the dependencies for something live, I'm afraid you are a deep guru who lives on a different plane of existence.
We now have widely-used packaging systems which simply embed an apps entire dependency tree into a package to avoid people having to work out the difference between `apt` and `rpm`. Thousands of terabytes of disk are being burned to make this stuff go away.
Yes, this is too hard. Way too hard.

Broadcom to Cut Almost 1,300 VMware Jobs in California After Takeover
Seems to more of a Defender issue than a WSL one, see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8995
After adding exclusions for the fsnotifier-wsl process and and both variants of the WSL distro path my disk performance was improved.
Adding the idea64.exe process also helped since I was trying to run IntelliJ against projects inside WSL.
