Update documentation to reflect Copilot support for Windows Sub System for Linux in Windows 10 #1608

Open sundarnarasiman opened 4 years ago

sundarnarasiman commented 4 years ago

Majority of enterprise developers use Windows 10 as the primary desktop operating system. We know that Copilot is not natively supported in Windows 10. However in Windows 10, Copilot can be leveraged using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). We have tested this and it works fine. The Windows 10 developers should set up the following:

  1. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
  2. Set up a most popular distro like Ubuntu
  3. Install Docker Desktop
  4. Open up ports for WSL to talk to Docker engine
  5. Disable secure authentication in Docker engine.

After that Copilot works like charm in Windows 10. Please update the Copilot documentation to include steps for setting up in WSL. I can support in that.

This will be a big value add to the developer community. They are currently thinking that developers having Windows 10 cannot use Copilot.

Hello @sundarnarasiman, thanks for providing those tutorial on how to run Copilot on WSL! This is really awesome! To add on it, we also tested Copilot on WIndows 10. It looks like Copilot can work pretty well on Windows Terminal with the Docker Desktop installed. Have you tried that?

Ok thanks for updating this. Please update the documentation.

I have not tried that. Can you please share me the installer for Windows 10 ?. I will try and let you know.

For the reference, installing and configuring Docker Desktop on Windows was the solution to enable Github Copilot on Windows 11 and WSLg.
