Hello Muhammet,
Do you know how much disk space you need to install Ubuntu in this way? I ask because during workshops I'm seen some Windows computers with very low disk capacity (like Surface).
Hey!
We're just running a Rails Girls session in Melbourne, Australia under the Ruby Australia organisation and we found the current installation instructions on Windows can generate a a lot of confusion for attendees. We spent all morning trying to get people's computers up and running, taking time away from the workshop. In comparison, people using Mac laptops were ready in a matter of minutes. Most mentors use either Mac or Linux so helping out was not as easy.
Using something like WSL would help the process not only be easier for attendees (all done via apt
and in the terminal) but also for mentors helping out who don't have direct experience with Windows.
Some inspiration to update this guide can come from GoRails' guide: https://gorails.com/setup/windows/11
When trying current installation document under windows. You get some errors. Some example;
Character set, Make command not found(via native extensions for example actioncable(nio4r), byebug, etc.).
Bash on ubuntu is windows 10 development features(The best solution for coding rails and ruby on the microsoft platform in my opinion) .

If suggestion is approved i update the installation document :)
