Just to nitpick technically the Linux VM is running beside a Windows VM, when you use WSL.
But your point remains, and frankly I don’t quite get all the hubbub about WSL when Linux VMs have existed for years. Do people really think it’s somehow different?
- runjake 6y ago> technically the Linux VM is running beside a Windows VM Say what now? I think I was correct in my initial comment.
- stephenr 6y agoIn WSL2, Windows uses Hyper-V to run a VM. But Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor, so it runs on bare metal, not as a service within a regular Operating system. So when you use WSL2, both Windows and Linux are running as virtual machines, under Hyper-V.
