Use SSH on Windows with the built-in OpenSSH client, the agent service, key permissions, WSL with its separate keys, and the optional server.

Schedule tasks on Windows that run WSL commands: Task Scheduler with wsl.exe, systemd inside WSL, cron limits when the VM is stopped, paths and logging.

Set up WSL and Windows Terminal for Linux work: install a distro, keep files in Linux, enable systemd, configure Git, SSH, VS Code and limits.
