Sharing data between WSL and Windows

This article discusses methods for sharing data between Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Windows. It highlights the default approach of mounting Windows directories in WSL, which is slow, and suggests an alternative: mounting WSL filesystems under Windows, even allowing formatting a bare drive with ext4 and assigning a drive letter. It also mentions using the `subst` command to map a WSL path to a Windows drive letter, and points to Microsoft's official documentation on mounting drives. The post includes references to related articles about Claude Code session loss after WSL restarts and inspecting GExperts internals, as well as a script for turning URLs into Android apps. The content is technical, focusing on WSL, filesystem mounting, and developer workflows.
