Windows Subsystem for Linux

(known as WSL)

---

What is the WSL and how it works ?

---

What is the WSL ?

• Compatibility layer for running Linux binaries
• Linux compatible kernel interface
• Can interact directly with Windows
• Think for developers

---

WSL is not a virtual machine !

---

It's not as simple...

• It uses virtualization technologies but not works in a partitioned environment
• WSL can interact directly with your file systems
• Storages with assigned letter --> /mnt/X
• Different material resources management

---

WSL 1 vs WSL 2

What's the difference ?

---

WSL 1 architecture

---

WSL 2 architecture

---

The limits of the WSL

---

Several limits

• Hardware acceleration not supported
• Audio not natively supported
• Network performances less efficient than a classic virtual machine

---

Will WSLg the solution ?
