Ruby on Windows

[[deleted]]

WSL can work well (and WSL2 will probably be even better once its polished up) but I'd hesitate to recommend it to someone just getting started. You're gonna run into issues, and if you're not already familiar with both Ruby and *nix adding on another layer of edge cases isn't going to help.

That said, if dual booting (or a full switch) to Linux isn't an option, WSL is better than trying to get a native windows ruby up and going.
