Microsoft has released an update for WSL 2.7.0 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), enabling the execution of Linux applications on Windows. Version 2.7.0 is the second significant release after the utilities for command-line, background processes for Linux environments, and services for launching the virtual machine were opened under the MIT license. Previously, the code for WSL components related to the Linux kernel and the wslg graphics stack was opened, while the accompanying tools remained proprietary. <\/p>\n

WSL provides a virtual machine with a complete Linux kernel (based on branch 6.6), in which Linux distributions can run. The kernel includes WSL-specific modifications, such as optimizations for reduced startup time and lower memory consumption, the ability to return memory released by Linux processes to Windows, and configurations to exclude unnecessary drivers and subsystems. The system is installed in a separate disk image (VHD) with an ext4 file system and a virtual network adapter. <\/p>\n
