![]() ![]() The WSL1 adaptation layer doesn’t cover all the Linux kernel APIs, but it covers 99.9% of common use. At the very lowest level, WSL1 tasks *are* Win10 tasks, though this level is below that seen by Windows’ Task Manager. WSL1 cleanly shares CPU and memory with Windows, while WSL2 needs cores and memory to be partitioned between Windows and Linux (though this limitation may ease with planned Win10 changes).Īn advantage of WSL1 is that all processor and memory resources are dynamically shared between WSL1 and Windows. (It is technically possible under the initial WSL2 release, but doing so is a bit clunky.) Initially, it may be best to use separate installations of a desired Linux distro for WSL1 and WSL2, then configure them for a shared userspace.Įach WSL version has its advantages and limitations. While it may not be part of the initial WSL2 release, it will be possible to switch an installed Linux instance between WSL1 and WSL2 as needs dictate. Both WSL versions will be retained and maintained going forward. While the original WSL (now called WSL1) uses a compatibility layer (much like Cygwin, though truly integrated with the OS), the newer WSL2 (rolling out now) uses a very lightweight VM that runs a Real Linux Kernel.
