WSL 1 is long gone for all practical purposes, yet it still dominates conversations.
Also everyone on FOSS gets it wrong, WSL wasn't a subsystem like classical Windows NT ones.
It was based on Drawbridge research using picoprocesses, a new approach for library OSes.

- pjmlp 5mo agoWhat has that to do with a version number and not keeping up with the times?
- embedding-shape 5mo agoWhat version number? WSL1 vs WSL2? I'm not sure if you see the quoted part. My comment is about the part that starts with "> " that you wrote earlier.
