Quarkus getting started development setup

You need just the following to get start with quarkus

• JDK 11+
• Maven or Gradle

My developer setup is Windows 11 laptop with WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Im running Ubuntu 20.04 on wsl2. I use Vscode with the remote development pack. There i install Java and Maven via SDK man. Next install Docker Desktop on windows 11. Then i connect to Ubuntu on WSL and develop on the WSL Linux host.

This took me less than 30 minutes to setup and its extremely fast and easy to work with. It seems to run at near native speeds.

instructions for setting up Wsl2 on Windows 11
