Using wsl2 I want to connect a usb serial device. But I have no idea how to get the devtty*** of the device. Went through the steps to attach a device to wsl. lsusb will tell me the device number, but I cant go from there.

my uni gives me free access to remote redhat vm with everything preinstalled. i have been using it for a while and so far it's really easy to use and i had 0 problems. are other distros also this easy to use?
Plenty are. For instance if you want Red Hat with more up-to-date programs then there's Fedora, it's upstream brother. Ubuntu was the original easy Linux, being what basically amounts to pre-setup Debian Unstable with it's own repos and third-party drivers added during initial install.
>lsblk Took your device and found that its running as ttyAMC0 Which was a great help since every guide has been telling me to find the ttyusb* or ttys*.

>Debian Unstable There is no relationship between Ubuntu and Unstable. They diverge a minute after the initial import and never share anything in common after that moment.

Should just werk, at least it does with steam play.

I'm only aware of some systems having permission issues with controllers, like the device under /dev isn't allowed to be read. But usually it's a simple fix like making sure your user is in the "input" group, or setting a udev rule (which you'd easily find if you search the issue online).

Looking for a somewhat minimalist music player to use with sway that isn't terminal based like cmus nor bloated like clementine/strawberry. Any recommendations?
