usbipd-win
Windows software for sharing locally connected USB devices to other machines, including Hyper-V guests and WSL 2.
Project mention: What's Your Primary Operating System for Development on Your PC/Laptop? | /r/embedded | 2023-12-06If (like me) you're stuck on Windows, WSL2 is really awesome. It's super fast, and requires very minimal setup to get it up and running. The VS Code integration is superb. You can even connect USB devices to WSL now, which makes it very suitable for embedded. You get nearly the performance of a full OS install, unlike a typical VM. On my machine it's about 50% faster than Virtualbox.

Project mention: Windows Subsystem for Linux gets new 'mirrored' network mode | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-19
Mirrored network mode sounds quite a lot like what wsl-vpnkit does: https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit
This came from Docker Desktop for Windows, where they needed a solution for VPNs like GlobalProtect and AnyConnect that are often configured to drop packets for networks that aren't the main one associated with the VPN.
