WSL is not Linux!
It is sort of fake marketing. The kernel is Windows not Linux. It's like -Wine-.
When you get this Ubuntu up and running in WSL, it is a binary compatible Ubuntu. You can exchange all the binaries with a real Ubuntu Linux.
Only one thing is different: There is no Linux kernel.
Try these three commands in WSL:
uname -a
ls /proc
ps aux
And a Linux user will see it right away, it is no Linux environment. It is something similar.
WSL is great and all Windows users who will learn Linux command line should get it.

Hi Titus. I'm currently facing a problem with WSL2. I don't have network connectivity by default. When I switch to WSL1, I get network again (without any tweak or configuration). Windows subsystem for linux and Virtual machine platforme are enabled (+ linux kernel installed). I've found a lot of posts about the subject but no -clear- solution. Do we have to activate -Hyper-V- too? I don't think so. Thanks.

My laptop Dell D630 is only run WSL1. I has update Linux Kernel to running in WSL2. But when i check the version WSL is still WSL 1. When i install Ubuntu 20.04 is ok and run well. I has enable Virtual Machine and WSL on bios and Program and Feature. So what exacly the problem with my laptop. Are the RAM is lacked or my Dell D630 do not support for WSL2

Woah... Chris! Read this:
-Microsoft announced upcoming GPU support for WSL a few weeks ago at Build 2020, along with support for running Linux GUI apps.- and they are bringing CUDA/OPENCL too, meaning Linux machine learning will run on Windows!

I installed and set up WSL 2 today. One thing you forgot to mention, the user need to enable virtualisation feature from their bios/uefi to actually enable this.
My install failed the first time since I've forgotten to do so.

--WSL: Windows Substitute for Linux--
Clearly a way to keep everyone on Windows while recognizing that Linux has a ton of useful command line utilities for developers.
Oh well it is amazing tech. Thanks Microsoft!

I think it's a good explanation, but the complexity of this method is making me think that WSL isn't going to be a user friendly way for newbies to get a taste of linux. I guess windows doesn't want it to be easy...

Hello sir, how to enable audio for WSL2. I've installed Ubuntu & Xfce4 desktop but I couldn't enable audio in Xfce4 desktop. Same problem in Kali with kex GUI. Couldn't enable audio. Could you help fix this issue?

Nice video. Unfortunately my woes are with the confounded resolv.conf and VPN nameservers. Whenever on VPN, I can never get name resolution to happen consistently over sessions. It never -just works.-
