Worth noting that this only applies to WSL1; WSL2 works in a completely different way.
- Nitrolo 4y agoDo you have a good writeup of how WSL2 works?
- flatiron 4y agoIt’s a vm running full blown Linux. Just tightly integrated into windows.
- emptyparadise 4y agoStill a bit sad that Microsoft went the hypervisor way with WSL2, rather than the Windows Subsystem way in WSL1. It makes perfect sense that they did, but I'm still a bit sad.
- robotnikman 4y agoSame. Though the use of 9P protocol in WSL2 to access the host filesystem was interesting
- CoolCold 4y agoI'm curious why it makes you sad? I was very glad when they announced WSL2 and while still using WSL1 for running socat for port forwarding, not missing it lack of further development much. Could be I'm missing some productivity stuff there?
- emptyparadise 4y agoNothing from a productivity standpoint, I just find the idea of Windows NT subsystems cool as hell.
- CoolCold 4y agoaha, got it ;)
