[NFBCS] Question: WSL on Windows 11

[Ryan Mann]

You can’t run an actual desktop, but I tried and I actually was able to run Orca.  I believe I had to do sudo apt install orca to install it.  Then I opened WSL and ran orca from the shell prompt.  I opened another wsl terminal and ran gedit which is the Gnome text editor just to test it.  Orca read gedit.

You can either modify your .bashrc script in your home directory and append ".", minus the quotes to your default search path, or you can type: ./newly-compile-file to execute it, assuming you're in the directory where the newly compile file is.
