Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)


Getting WSL2

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

  • Enable WSL 
    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
  • Enable Virtual Machine Platform 
    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
  • Reboot
  • Set WSL to be default 
    wsl --set-default-version 2
  • Download a linux distro from the Microsoft Store WSL page

WSL 1 vs WSL 2

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versions.
Basically WSL 2 is a full linux kernel running in a VM.
WSL 1 is a compatibility layer on top of the Windows kernel.
Nvidia is working on CUDA for WSL 2[1].
