I didn't know virtio_wl, it looks pretty neat. WSLg doesn't seem to have too much focus on sandboxing and only works on windows :(

- easygenes 5y agoWell, in the case of WSLg the sandbox is WSL itself (and you can spin up multiple different ones, though they'd hardly qualify as micro VMs). The only part that "only works on Windows" is the RDP client. The rest is specifically developed for Linux and open source. The backend is an extension of FreeRDP, so presumably the FreeRDP client would be just fine on Linux.

I remember reading that.) > so presumably the FreeRDP client would be just fine on Linux. Memory sharing would need support by the hypervisor I guess, that probably means hacking FreeRDP, rdp-wayland-backend and the hypervisor :\
