Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 appears for Windows 10 versions from last year – Computer – News

WSL2 as a whole was a bit disappointing compared to WSL1. Yes, you can go deeper into Linux (eg WSL1 lacked some syscalls), but performance has not improved.

I still think it’s special that they have thrown the entire WSL1 architecture out of the window and replaced it with this VM solution. It is understandable that it will take a while for WSL2 to surpass its predecessor, but I assume that this decision was not made lightly and that it will eventually work out.

Advantage: I am now working on my Macbook again and Docker for Mac is lightning fast compared to the Docker on WSL2 Beta

[edit]
Mistake: comparing apples with pears because that MacBook is a high-end 2020 model and the Windows laptop was older and not super high-end.
