Hey y'all:

I have what is probably an unusual question.

Background: I have been a long time Linux user, but find that I really need to run windows to do stuff for EMCOMM. Like rmsexpress (winmail), varaAC, varaHF, varaFM, and F3FJP for field days. I have tried all of those with (mostly) fairly unsuccessful success. I wish it weren't so! Otherwise, this question would be posed.

I want to run EVERYTHING else in linux. So my first thought was dual boot. And yes, I could do that. Then I was told that doing that was outmoded. And the way to do it going forward was to install and use WSL 2 on windows -- and then I would have the best of both worlds.

Over time, at least a year, I have written all kinds of scripts (mostly bash), that automate (for me) all things POTA related and I need to run flrig, wsjtx, fldigi, and other programs ON LINUX. I do not want to give that up. If I have to I will just dual boot and be done with it.

So now here is my question:

Except

for those EMCOMM type programs to run on windows, will all the rest of the programs I want to run on WSL2 (using audio and USB port for PTT). I should let you know I use an FT-710, the usb of which is a C-Media composite (of usb and audio). Those need to work.

I hope y'all understand my question, and can offer some assurances, and advice.

Thank you!
