<p>If you are disturbed by the instructions to produce an entirely different SSL key for WSL to use when your PC already has a perfectly good PuTTy key installed on the server, then you are right. It is inelegant. But it works, the instructions are shorter and there are fewer things that go wrong. If you are terribly offended by that then you can set your PC up to use one key shared between WSL and normal-Windows as described in <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/sharing-ssh-keys-between-windows-and-wsl-2/">this October 2019 article</a>. (Don't set up a password on the key because then you don't need to install keychain.) But beware, this sort of thing goes out of date quite rapidly.

<p>WSL installs python by default, but it may be a rather old python (depending on the history of your laptop, phase of moon etc.) and if you want development speed you want python3.13. [NB check what version of python is running on the server. It was 3.11.2 in December 2024.].
