Exploring Windows Subsystem for Linux
- [Narrator] Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, is intended to make software development easier, allowing people with Windows computers to develop in a Linux environment without having to manage a whole virtual machine or connect to a remote server in order to get work done. There are two versions of WSL. WSL version one provides a translation layer, which responds to Linux system calls and translates those operations to the empty kernel. Though many syscalls are covered by this translation layer, not all of them are. And not all of them work exactly the same way that they would on Linux. WSL version two runs a small utility virtual machine in Hyper-V and runs a real Linux kernel. Generally speaking, WSL 2 is nicer to work with, but it requires virtualization support and if your system doesn't offer that, WSL 1 will still work. To use WSL, we first enable it in Windows and then we need to turn on Hyper-V for Windows…
