Windows now has WSL.
When I develop dotnet core apps I like to test them on linux. With WSL, you can literally just run `dotnet run` in the project folder in linux. This works great.
There is one problem though. When running an app in linux WSL command line the IDE seems to backfire. Intellisense goes crazy and when you try to rebuild the program it would sometimes get stuck for long times. And this is rebuilds where the linux console is not running the app anymore. It's not like it fails, it just hangs for a long long time before the compile complete. Sometimes it is instant. Sometimes it takes ages. Nobody knows why.
Please look into this. It is easy to replicate. Just install WSL create a dotnet core console app compile and run it. Then run in in a WSL console. Then try to build it again in Visual Studio. Sometimes that build takes ages.
Many thanks vs is the best!
