It's less overhead and better integrated into the system as a whole. After all a VM is still a separate entity in its own environment. WSL is jumping over the fence and runs Linux stuff in a Windows environment.
Think of it the other way. Why would you use wine if you could just run Windows in a VM? :)
- kazinator 10y agoWhy someone might use Wine is that it's free software. That's about it.
- eriknstr 10y agoI think the point that parent commenter tried to make is actually that one might use Wine instead of VM because Wine has less overhead.
