- stonogo 2y ago"Linux API on top of Windows" is an interesting way to describe a virtual machine.
- sedatk 2y agoThat’s more like WSL1, yes.

- pjmlp 2y agoMore like, WSL1 was "Linux API on top of NT kernel picoprocesses", WSL2 is "Linux VM on top of Hyper-V"
- mycall 2y agoI wish WSL1 was open sourced
- pjmlp 2y agoPicoprocesses are based on Drawbridge research, so at least there is some reading about how it all works, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/drawbridge/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/drawbridge/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/wsl/windows-subsystem-for-linux-overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/wsl/windows-... https://www.zdnet.com/article/under-the-hood-of-microsofts-windows-subsystem-for-linux/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/under-the-hood-of-microsofts-w...
