I have a Windows PC with an NVIDIA GPU, but I also need to work on other PCs and a laptop without NVIDIA GPUs. For remote work or weekend coding and research, I want to continue my project seamlessly. One solution is to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and create a portable Linux environment. This lets me use the same Linux setup on any Windows machine—even without an NVIDIA GPU—while keeping all my projects, code, and large datasets accessible on an external SSD.

• Using external storage
• Portable WSL Linux
• Seamless project continuity

Step 1—Export WSL on your main PC

• Create your Ubuntu WSL distro (e.g., named 22) on the main PC.
• Export it to a .tar file on an external drive:

wsl --export 22 E:\\\\WSL\\\\22\\\\ubuntu22.tar
wsl --shutdown

• The path for the portable WSL folder on both PCs will be:

D:\\\\WSL\\\\DistroName
