  • WSL2-Linux-Kernel

    The source for the Linux kernel used in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)

    Yeah, seen that thread. You’re compiling the mainline kernel though, and I’d like to focus on Microsoft’s fork that’s optimised for WSL2 compatibility and performance, and also includes the latest native features like GPU support. I’d also want ZFS and its tools to work in CBL-Mariner, the WSL2 system distro. Microsoft’s already working on improving host-guest filesystem performance on the insider branches, and it would be great if ZFS could piggyback off that, which it can’t do with your method.
