  • Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable

    Quite a strange limitation in my opinion. I understand that dealing with subnetting/host network rebinding to allow full IPv6 can be a challenge (especially if you're on DHCPv6 or some other manually managed thing instead of normal SLAAC) but surely Microsoft could use whatever NAT solution they use for IPv4 to work on IPv6 as well?

    Apparently support for the protocol can already be enabled (https://github.com/nathanchance/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/issues/25). This makes it technically possible to use a WireGuard tunnel for IPv6 support, at least...

    I think you might be able to start with an even more minimal rootfs than that one if you used Distrod (plus you'd end up with a WSL2 Ubuntu distro that has systemd working (then also use a custom kernel like this or this for snapd, apparmor etc support - their latest versions are 11.7 and 12.4 MB each).
  • Windows x MaxOS KVM under Linux VS dual booting

    Requirement seems to be Win11 though, and you do need to update the WSL2 kernel to the latest one in their repo ( https://github.com/nathanchance/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/releases ) I used v63. This fixes the reboot loop the QEMU VM goes after/during OSX XNU kernel boot.
  • PSA Reminder about GUI support for new users: W10, W11 and WSLg

    The culprit was the kernel. Bleeding-edge based on https://github.com/nathanchance/WSL2-Linux-Kernel. The default 5.10.60 works.

    Good that I already run my own kernel anyway based on https://github.com/nathanchance/WSL2-Linux-Kernel
