    Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) ...... Does any of you use this?


    Hi folks

    I saw Brink posted the news... Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2.0.7 released
    and i didn't want to start posting in that thread out of respect, so i start this one that i have a feeling will be short lived thread
    But i am curious.. Does any of you use Windows Subsystem for Linux?

    No but if you want Linux functionality on windows natively then its a good thing. There was other methods for a long time like cygwin. Where WSL is a turnkey solution that is tightly integrated to the OS and pretty powerful with lots of support, if you want to make applications or something that span across the two systems then these would be a few methods to achieve that. Of course it can be used for anything.
