1. Antialiasing activation

Some applications, eg Firefox, won't show clear fonts without activating antialiasing.


Open 'Adjust ClearType text'

Turn on ClearType

and follow the indications.


2. Mapping WSL disk as network drive

From File Explorer, right click Network > Map network drive...

Drive: J:

Folder: \\wsl$\Ubuntu

[x] Reconnect at sign-in


3. Subst a permanent system drive

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices

Sample:

Nombre: J:

This is equivalent to the temporary user drive created with: "subst J: D:\"
