> Technically, when you enable WSL2, the Windows build itself is running through the Hyper-V hypervisor My (very limited) understanding of hypervisor is it by definition is used to run VMs. So I don't get why that makes WSL2 not be counted as a VM, even "technically". I assume you mean once you enabled hypervisor, technically both Windows itself and WSL2 are VMs in parallel?
