The Linux kernel will get security fixes, kernel improvements and other updates through Windows updates. You probably already know that Docker and Linux containers are the backbone of the IT industry these days and most of the software deployments take advantage of the Linux containers. WSL 2 also allows Windows to run docker containers natively. In certain tasks like, unpacking a tarball, WSL 2 was 20x faster than WSL 1 and around 5x faster in using Git clone, npm install. The specifically optimized Linux kernel makes WSL 2 faster than WSL 1. The inclusion of real Linux kernel will boost the file-system I/O and system calls. We will service this Linux kernel through Windows updates, which means you will get the latest security fixes and kernel improvements without needing to manage it yourself. It has been optimized for size and performance to give an amazing Linux experience on Windows. This will be the first time a Linux kernel is shipped with Windows, which is a true testament to how much Microsoft loves Linux Craig Loewen, Program Manager, Windows Developer Platform The advantages of real Linux kernel in WSL 2 So now if you use WSL, you’ll be using the real Linux kernel 4.19. In WSL 2, the Linux kernel compatibility layer has been replaced by the real Linux kernel. Instead of a slow virtual machine, the WSL allows you to natively run the Linux commands on Windows. These Linux distributions are available in Windows 10 Store. To use WSL, you can install bash on Windows through Ubuntu, Kali Linux and OpenSUSE. This feature is also called ‘bash on Windows’. It allows many Linux programs (mainly the command line ones) to run inside Windows. WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is a Linux kernel compatibility layer for Windows.
