Docker looked to me like a good way of getting a Ubuntu environment for
Whimsy development under Windows 10. Is there a better way of doing that?
Given your description, I would suggest that the best match would be:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-install
From my reading, WSL2 is much superior to WSL. At the moment, it is
available on a pre-release basis. My understanding is that the
official release will be in May. Ubuntu 20.04 is due to be released
on Thursday, so if you are setting up a new system, I would be
inclined to start with that version.
Unfortunately, wsl-2 is not acceptable for the computer I want to use
for development. It requires installation of an insider-only prerelease
of Window 10, and I use that machine for too many things to consider
anything other than a released version.
You do not seem to be enthusiastic about Docker. Any particular reasons?
