Will the kernels be able to interact at all outside of the filesystem? For example could I write a Linux program which opens a Windows browser?

- zeusk 7y agoThis already works with WSL1.0, so I'd consider it to be a regression if not. I just verified with opening vscode from bash in a windows directory from WSL using `code /mnt/c/Users/zeusk/Desktop/memester` Also, output of `which code`: > zeusk@DESKTOP-F776PPQ:/mnt/c/Users/zeusk/Desktop$ which code > /mnt/c/Users/zeusk/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code
- ridiculous_fish 7y agoWSL1 shares the kernel, but WSL2 uses a hypervisor, so IPC is likely to take a hit.
- chx 7y agoWell, WSL1 has real bad performance with lots of small files and they say their internal performance tests unzipping a tarball 20x faster and git clone or npm install going 2-5 times faster. Not sure what IPC would make slower...?
