  • wslg

    Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios

  • You are correct (and I was wrong). Looks like there’s still Windows 10 21H2 update coming with some new things, but wslg is not one of them.

    There’s a feature request for including it foe Windows 10: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/414

  • WSL

    Issues found on WSL

  • Fair enough, hopefully that gets fixed, my machine doesn’t go to sleep that often so maybe that’s why I haven’t been affected. My servers are not usually long-running, I only use them when developing so that’s probably why.

    For future reference linking to the issues page when there’s over 1.2k issues is unhelpful to the reader, you’re better off putting that list into your blog post, or just pick one that’s the most useful like https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/7492. I doubt the reader is going to trawl for every single issue to find the ones you’re talking about. It’s like saying “Google it yourself”.

  • WSLackware

    Slackware for WSL!

  • I just found out you can actually run slackware under wsl:

  • azurelinux

    Linux OS for Azure 1P services and edge appliances

  • Partly false, Microsoft does have its own Linux distribution now.
