Clear Linux Exploring Support For Windows WSL

[starshipeleven]

Good point and important to note - MS has been in the habit of releasing significant portions of their kernel for many years for academic researchers.

Which is completely tangential to the point of "open sourcing bits of their kernel". The license has never been a open source one. https://github.com/markjandrews/wrk-...er/LICENSE.txt

Many software can be found in source form, but to be called opensource there are other conditions you must meet https://opensource.org/osd

Why should that be faster? It's like Wine, another layer.

WSL is *much* smaller in scope than WINE, it just implements the linux kernel syscall interface in the NT kernel, alongside the normal NT one. WINE is reimplementing the whole win32 userspace, because it can't legally use dlls from Windows.
