Hm, depends on what you need. WSL1 translates syscalls to NT, it's not a real Linux kernel, so probably no FUSE. Performance is good in general, but it's still NTFS underneath. I use it for SSH and FileZilla, with Debian. No breakage so far, even going from Debian 9 to 10.
WSL2 is basically a Linux VM on Hyper-V with some glue involved. It should be possible to make FUSE work there. I haven't really tried WSL2 yet.
You'll have to bring your own X server. I use VcXsrv.
- colejohnson66 6y agoSo WSL1 was like a reverse Wine?
- fuzzy2 6y agoYes, I think that’s a valid way to put it. “is”, though. Because WSL2 is so different, WSL1 will stay, for the time being. You can use both side-by-side.
