WSL and Jekyll

I recently purchased a new computer for home use. My old Surface Pro 3 with 4GB of RAM was just not cutting it for the sorts of things I would like to do on a home computer, and while it’s great for many use-cases, the form factor isn’t ideal in every scenario. One of my primary uses of that computer was for writing this blog, and I haven’t had a need to touch the tool-chain in almost 3 years. Sadly, when I tried to get it all setup again on my new computer, I was met with very prompt failure, but alas, was able to resolve it with the help of a fellow blogger using Jekyll, Dave Mateer’s blog post on ‘Running Jekyll on WSL2’. Following the steps he outlined in that post, I was able to get up and running again very quickly.
