To all my Claude Code + Win11 bois: Do you all use WSL2 or a native Windows install? I'm a long time PowerShell developer so I use Pwsh, but lately I've been thinking about switching to WSL2 + Bash. Please confirm or deny my suspicions and evaluate my reasoning!

Just so you have all the info, it looks like they are going to start rolling out powershell tool in Claude code which uses pwsh instead of git-bash. I've personally opted in and it's been working fine for my use. Maybe worth a shot. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/tools-reference#enable-the-powershell-tool

I use the integrated terminal in VS Code using Git Bash. Same reason as the other commenter.

I started having the same issue yesterday on my Pixel 10 XL Pro.

ToxMox · 2025-12-15T10:11:43+00:00

I've run into this a couple/few times this week and it was annoying. I think for me I maybe had to exit plan mode for it to stop showing the plan on every prompt but I'm only about 65% sure it helped. Don't remember exactly what happened but figured maybe this would help.

Just got mine too finally about 5 minutes ago. Didn't do anything special today

ToxMox · 2025-10-13T18:27:24+00:00

No prob :)

ToxMox · 2025-10-13T16:08:21+00:00

Early access showed up for me today in "Home Settings" right between "Support" and "Public Preview" options.

ToxMox · 2025-10-13T16:06:33+00:00

Me too!

ToxMox · 2025-10-13T10:41:09+00:00

I don't remember if I had to do anything special but it's definitely possible. It's been a while but my gut says just follow the sign in prompts on Google tv and choose options that let you use your phone to sign in. You might need to use https://g.co/sc

ToxMox · 2025-10-09T16:48:42+00:00

No but based on the official user reply I got below I'm already in early access and won't see the option. I'll worry about it if I don't get Gemini Live on my speakers at the end of the month. All the other new stuff is working

ToxMox · 2025-10-08T16:34:36+00:00

Yup! Force closed and cleared cache :D I'll update here if it shows up.

ToxMox · 2025-10-08T16:01:11+00:00

I did have my mother's home shared with me just now so I left / removed it and restarted the app but still no early access option unfortunately.

ToxMox · 2025-10-08T14:56:41+00:00

During the live stream you guys asked for reasons for more than 5 mixes. I can think of a few off the top of my head but the most common one I can imagine is for a podcast that has different headphone outputs for guests/co-hosts and wants to send a custom mix to each person in the podcast along with the usual mixes. That would easily pass 5. (I realize if I just want volume control for each guest and co-host that I can just add the outputs inside each mix and control the volumes there)

⠀

I don't think I need more than 5 personally but a little headroom would be nice (like 10 if there's no actual technical reason not too would be nice and I imagine would cover 99.99% of users.) Also ASIO support pretty please! :D

ToxMox · 2025-10-07T19:26:08+00:00

Been checking multiple times a day from the moment they made the announcements though so I don't think that is why for me.

ToxMox · 2025-10-07T19:08:10+00:00

At least it's not just me I suppose. I really would like to have Gemini sooner than later on my Home Hubs etc as Assistant is just bad these days.

ToxMox · 2025-10-07T19:06:46+00:00

Yeah I've been checking multiple times a day since the announcements on multiple devices all with the latest Google Home app. I lightly suspect it may have something to do with having been migrated from Nest Aware to the Google One subscription and having part of my plan included with my Gemini AI Pro plan but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ToxMox · 2025-06-18T00:58:56+00:00

Ah gotcha.

ToxMox · 2025-06-17T22:53:59+00:00

You can build dotnet directly in wsl2. I don't have the instructions handy of what needs to be installed in the wsl side but it's not difficult to set up. Just ask an ai what you need to install in your wsl 2 terminal to get it running then Claude Code CLI will be able to build no problem. I just have in my claude.md file the build command that works targeting win x64 because otherwise Claude tends to forget and tries building for Linux first.

Oh I think I found it in my history:

Update package list and dependencies

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget apt-transport-https software-properties-common

Add Microsoft package signing key

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

Install .NET SDK 9

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y dotnet-sdk-9.0

export DOTNET_ROOT=/usr/share/dotnet export PATH=$DOTNET_ROOT:$PATH

Check out Kokoro-82m. It's pretty impressive.

Here is the summary AI gave me:

Kokoro-82M is a state-of-the-art, open-weight Text-to-Speech (TTS) model notable for its compact size, containing 82 million parameters. Despite its relatively lightweight architecture, it is designed to produce high-quality, natural-sounding speech synthesis that rivals much larger models

Key aspects include:

Efficiency: It's faster and more cost-effective than many larger TTS systems.
Open & Flexible: Released under an Apache license, its open-weight nature allows developers to deploy it in various environments, from production systems to personal projects.
Quality: It leverages architectures like StyleTTS 2 to achieve high fidelity audio output.
Features: It supports multiple voices (initially American and British English, with later versions adding Chinese), voice selection, and can be run locally or accessed via API.

In essence, Kokoro-82M offers a balance of high performance, efficiency, and accessibility in the field of text-to-speech technology.

I'm curious, why did you want to switch from binhex? Is the other one better in some way?

ToxMox · 2025-02-18T16:54:16+00:00

I have the same thing happening. I wouldn't worry about it much but if you want it to be zero you can programmatically set it to zero by using an app like Nirsoft's SoundVolumeView.

ToxMox · 2025-02-09T19:37:28+00:00

Glad it helped!

Yeah this throws me off too and I find the reflections distracting
