Windows

I'm back on a windows machine and still learning how to make it nice.

• install basic miktex (for LaTeX)
• install alacritty (use the installer, not portable)
• install wsl + WSL specifics
  • fix wsl dns issue via stackoverflow
    • write wsl.conf:
      • sudo touch /etc/wsl.conf
      • echo "[network]" | sudo tee /etc/wsl.conf > /dev/null
      • echo "generateResolvConf = false" | sudo tee -a /etc/wsl.conf > /dev/null
    • overwrite resolv.conf:
      • kill symlink rm /etc/resolv.conf
      • write file touch /etc/resolv.conf
      • add content echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
