Unlike the original WSL, WSL2 uses virtuaization. Then why does Microsoft feel they have to do such major changes to Linux instead of letting it run as-is?
- my123 5y agoOn WSL2, Microsoft has their own init with another container launched for multiple reasons: - That other container, the WSL system distribution has a Wayland and a PulseAudio server for graphics integration. - in a regular WSL config, the VM completely closes 60 seconds after the last terminal is. If you have daemons running, that cannot be guaranteed to work anymore. - compatibility of distributions across WSL1 and WSL2, the former which has a significantly lower feature set.
