Reading through the FAQ, looks like the kernel can run on 1 physical core and SMT/hyperthreading isn't enabled (maybe that's changed).
Seems cute but the WSL has the full support of the Windows scheduler which is gonna make the practical choice of tool obvious for folks with Linux workload requirements.
- throwanem 6y agocoLinux being 32-bit only seems like a somewhat bigger problem.
- photon12 6y agoI imagine that's a more tractable problem to solve but as it stands this is definitely the bigger issue.
- bityard 6y agoMight have something to do with the fact that coLinux is almost as old as Linux itself. I was surprised to see it on the front page of HN, it was an iffy solution back when it was a semi-viable option. Now that hardware-assisted VMs with very low overhead have been commonplace for a decade, it's pretty much completely obsolete. Edit: I guess development on it started in 2004, it was only a few years later that hardware-assisted virtualization started becoming relatively mainstream.
