What are the development options in windows under ubuntu?

Question

ubuntu

You need to develop a project under Ubuntu, in a node.js environment, but Windows is installed on the machine.
Do I understand correctly that there are the following options for solving this problem (in addition to replacing Windows with Ubuntu):

• Use node.js on Windows:
  I have encountered some programs that do not work correctly on the Windows version or are completely missing (for example, redis).
  
• Install VirtualBox from Ubuntu on Windows:
  connect to a virtual server via ssh/sftp on Windows itself.
  
• Rent a dedicated server with Ubuntu for development:
  also connect via ssh/sftp to a dedicated server from Windows.
  

Answer 1

In addition to the natively compiled nodejs for Windows, you can use the Linux Subsystem on Windows. But again, this is a very big crutch and will most likely cause you pain. The best option would be to use Ubuntu / MacOS to spend less time setting up workflow and more time developing.
