![]() ![]() ![]() I know some of the individual language plugins for IntelliJ (python I think?) allow use of sdks on the wsl side in an ad hoc kind of way, but many don't (java notably). And one way or another presents performance problems because of bridging the separate windows & linux filesystems - either I store my source on wsl, in which case IntelliJ's file access is slow, or on the Windows filesystem, in which case my commandline access is slow. You can download the package, extract, and run the executable file to launch the IDE. For those don’t like Snap and Flatpak packages, IntelliJ IDEA offers official Linux tarball in its download page. I don't even need to have any Windows versions of the developer tools installed at all.īy contrast, with IntelliJ Idea, if I want to have a unix commandline, I usually have to install, configure and maintain 2 of everything (git, sdks, compilers, etc) - one for linux commandline use, and one for IntelliJ to use. This simple tutorial shows how to install IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3 via its official Linux tarball via PPA. This is great for a number of reasons - the tooling is fantastic, the ext4 filesystem is much better suited to things like git & npm, etc. It enables a developer to essentially do everything in linux, just using Windows for the GUI side of things. ![]() The VS Code Remote extension for wsl is quite a game-changer for using wsl (especially version 2) for windows. No point writing up a ticket for something infeasible. I may add a new YouTrack issue, but I'd like to get a general notion of what's possible given Idea's architecture. I know there are a bunch of wsl-related issues (including the ones linked to above), but they seem a bit short of what's required.
