how to enable ubuntu over WSL with phpstorm for proper file lineendings and a decent super fast workflow

Usage
You need git to be installed for the commands below to work. Use

sudo apt install git
to do so.

Run the script and commands
git clone https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.git
cd ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/
bash ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.sh
# Enter your password and wait until the script has finished
Then restart the Ubuntu shell and try running systemctl
systemctl
If you don't get an error and see a list of units, the script worked.

Have fun using systemd on your Ubuntu WSL2 image. You may use and change and distribute this script in whatever way you'd like.

snapd will be fucked, so you need to run this
1. $ sudo service snapd stop
2. $ sudo apt purge snapd
3. $ sudo apt install snapd

or maybe this systemctl restart snapd.seeded.service



using x410, on ubuntu terminal type
export DISPLAY=$(awk '/^nameserver/ {print $2; exit;}' </etc/resolv.conf):0.0

sudo snap install phpstorm --classic --edge


Try starting PHPStorm by running phpstorm in your terminal. As I'm lazy, I added the following alias to .bashrc:

alias storm='phpstorm > /dev/null 2>&1 &'


PHPStorm will probably complain about file sync being slow when you start it - that's because we did not install inotify yet, which PHPStorm can utilize. To do so, type:

sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
As the default amount of files a user can watch is pretty low - especially if you are doing anything frontend related ;) - you can increase that number by adding the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf:

fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
and applying the change:

sudo sysctl -p
