I am new to WeeWX. I have a USB connected Davis Vantage Vue. My goal is to make the weather data available to observatory control software which runs in Windows. I installed WeeWX under WSL and found it very easy to do. It is still early days, but it seems to work just fine. If there is interest, I can post a simple recipe of what I did.
