It's not just security features that need Hyper-V. Also WSL (Linux on Windows) or the Android Subsystem (run any side loaded app or anything from the Amazon App Store) need Hyper-V. Both of them are super useful for me, more and more things are iOS/Android App based only. Linux should speak for itself.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoOnly WSLv2 needs (or uses) Hyper-V.
- andix 3y agoBut WSL1 is de-facto dead, although it is still supported.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoIt still makes more sense than v2 for certain patterns.
- OkGoDoIt 3y agoI still use WSL1 daily. It makes a lot more sense than WSL2 for me. If I want a VM of Linux, I’ll run a VM of Linux. The exciting thing about WSL from the beginning was the notion of actually running Linux processes in Windows without a VM.
