Running Pharo under Ubuntu (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
Thanks to Cyril who told me it was possible, I got Pharo 7 Unix running under the Ubuntu 18 that's part of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10. It's not a VM VirtualBox. I documented the install steps on my new blog that uses Jekyll and github pages, which actually took longer to set up than the Pharo under WSL :) The Mesa install step on the blog might be useful for documenting how to get Pharo 7 to work in Ubuntu 18? https://fuhrmanator.github.io/Pharo-in-WSL/

This is great, do you notice any performance impact? I had to install a lubuntu VM as a workaround to the existing Iceberg "long file paths" issues. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo El jue., 28 feb. 2019 a las 5:53, Christopher Fuhrman (<christopher.fuhrman@inria.fr>) escribió:

I didn't do any formal benchmark. The XWindows display is noticeably laggy when you drag windows in Pharo, but I didn't find it annoying. The baseline installs I did were not noticeably slower than what I'm used to. I did some testing and debugging for several hours and I forgot I was running XSL, except for the keyboard. I haven't figured out why my quotes and apostrophes and tildes are not right. I think I had that problem in a lubuntu VM under Windows 10, too.

Maybe the WSL method will be a useful alternative.
