Windows 10 vs. Windows WSL vs. Linux - Ubuntu / openSUSE / Debian / Clear Linux

Unfortunately, that doesn't work, according to several users.

That's because `

%userprofile%\appdata\local\lxss` is the path to the old, legacy, unsupported Ubuntu instance we installed in the beta versions of WSL. Distros from the store are installed elsewhere.

And no, we do not recommend disabling anti-malware, nor excluding your distro folder(s). We are working various aspects of disk IO perf and have improvements being investigated and/or fixes queued up for implementation over the next few Windows releases. Bear with us.

After reading win 10 Microsoft's new terms of service I cannot imagine myself using win 10 much longer.

CacheBench read is so surprising.

I'd love to have a explanation for this, seems very odd.
It concerns me that it's for all Linux distributions.

But would you want to turn it off?

Yes. It's crapware.

You can always add an exception for the WSL path, %userprofile%\appdata\local\lxss

Yesterday I found out that most of the performance hit WSL has comes from Windows Defender not liking what WSL does.

Did you have Windows Defender on or off in those tests?

I noticed Ubuntu on WSL was way too slow here, but disabling Windows Defender made it perform much better.

openSUSE 42.3 has packages PHP 5/7, similar to most distributions have Python2/3 or Java 7/8

“10G” is probably a typo? And “66.94” ?
