There are some differences in the software thought.
- exdsq 6y agoTrue, but it uses a Linux kernel over hyper-v rather than a wrapper over the win32 api like WSL1 (from what I understand!)
- alpanka 6y agoYes, but it is a slightly modified distro which causes some issues And not all are minor. Not being be able to run LXC is a deal breaker for me.
- hda111 6y agoWhat makes you think WSL2 isn’t able to run LXC?
- imwillofficial 6y agoWSL2 is a custom Microsoft kernel
- rcarmo 6y agoIf you can't do what you want in it, please open a ticket on https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL - there is also a repo for the kernel, but AFAIK technical feedback is best sent through this one. (disclaimer: not directly involved with WSL, just trying to help)
- exdsq 6y agoYou could with a little work in June 2019, not sure what the picture is like now but it might be possible. I've used nix quite a bit on WSL2 which was surprisingly good. https://blog.simos.info/how-to-run-lxd-containers-in-wsl2/ https://blog.simos.info/how-to-run-lxd-containers-in-wsl2/
