We work with a lot of independent contractors, many of whom get by fine with Window Home, so this is great news:
> ...because WSL 2 works on Windows 10 Home edition, so will Docker Desktop
Glad to see this too:
> bind mounts from WSL will support inotify events and have nearly identical I/O performance as on a native Linux machine

- Fr0styMatt88 7y agoI didn't think Hyper-V was available on Windows 10 Home Edition; has this changed or was it always available?
- dstaley 7y agoIt's not. It's possible Microsoft is making an exception for WSL2, but I highly doubt the user will be able to run arbitrary VMs on HyperV without a Pro edition of Windows.
- penagwin 7y agoAccording to others in this thread, if HyperV is enabled then the windows host actually partially runs on HyperV (which is part of the reason you can't use other hypervisors with HyperV turned on). The running theory is that they want HyperV on for all installs (like turned on by default).
