      I’m aware, though there’s some nice integration stuff that means you can run GUI applications and share the file system

      Interesting fact WSLv1 was actually not a VM and it was the NT kernel speaking POSIX

        And this is why the WSL1 filesystem was so damn slow. WSL2 uses a native ext4 filesystem (usually, you can format it to whatever)
