It's not perfect: I run IntelliJ in Arch WSL1 and 1) it crashes every time it opens a .md file athough I have (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1). I have to put -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false in idea64.vmoptions and disable the markdown plugin (maybe only 1 of them is enough) 2) In Windows, IntelliJ automatically saves files when it loses focus. I have to remember to Ctrl-S all the times with IntelliJ in WSL1 3) IntelliJ can't detect where there's a change in the file system. I have to Reload All from Disk all the times.
