Hmm, but WSL2 just runs a VM instead, right? Given that I'd have expected WSA to be a container on the WSL VM, running something similar to Anbox.

- naikrovek 5y agoWSL2 runs in a VM with host OS integration, and I assume this is how the subsystem functionality of the NT kernel is used in WSL2. WSL1 is the "Linux as a subsystem of Windows" thing I described. Note that WSL2 is not a complete upgrade from WSL1, and WSL2 does not render WSL1 obsolete. They each have strengths that the other does not.
