Aren't they replacing Hyper-V for the next version descriped in the post? I thought it now runs natively on top of WSL syscalls and the NT kernel.

- cpuguy83 7y agoWSL 2 is a full Linux kernel running in Hyper-V rather than an emulation layer on top of NT. The article is about two things: 1. WSL 1 was not enough to run docker on it 2. WSL 2 is what was needed and with it Docker can use it and replace the Linuxkit based bits it currently ships, and get other improvements along with it.
- wmf 7y agoWSL1 is syscall emulation on the NT kernel. Docker does not use WSL1. WSL2 is a Linux VM on Hyper-V which will be used by Docker Desktop.
