Do you think WSL counts if not enabled?
- Wohlf 6y agoOptional OS features are stored in WinSxS in case users decide to enable them, so technically they are shipping the Linux kernel with all recent pro/enterprise installs.
- greggyb 6y agoI actually was thinking further on this. WSL is not a Linux kernel. In WSL1, it's a syscall translation layer. In WSL2, it's a highly integrated virtualization environment. You do have to install a Linux distro. So the kernel's not shipping, just an environment in which a kernel can be installed.
