What will happen to WSL 1? Will it be abandoned?
We currently have no plans to deprecate WSL 1. You can run WSL 1 and WSL 2 distros side by side, and can upgrade and downgrade any distro at any time.
- cogman10 5y agoI get all that, but it's hard to imagine with the current naming scheme that you'll be doing much beyond the bare minimum support for WSL1. I have a hard time believing that new WSL1 features will land. There's a giant chasm between "not deprecated" and "actively supporting". For example, I'm guessing that running a docker container with WSL1 is something that will never happen.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoYea, but WSL1 has basically seen no new features or meaningful fixes since WSL2 was introduced.
