@isaiah3031 ... and it worked like magic with basically default WSL+Ubuntu? |
@awwaiid Yeah after you install wsl and continue with the install steps in CONTRIBUTING everything runs. I've been working on a team of ruby developers for the past threeish years and we all start on windows machines using wsl2. I think there are some edge cases where other tools would be more useful but I can run Human Essentials comfortably with this setup. |

Description
Guide questions:
There was a request for a way to run Linux on a windows machine in the CONTRIBUTING.md file
WSL-2 is a "lightweight utility virtual machine (VM)". An alternative would be running an actual virtual machine or using a docker container.
Lacks the full features of Linux and can be less performant.
List any dependencies that are required for this change. (gems, js libraries, etc.)
Include anything else we should know about.
