Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever issue raised on the Microsoft/WSL repo:

    But it is not a “Linux Subsystem”, it is a “Windows Subsystem”.

    If I write a hypothetical Driver for Linux to support windows, it would be a “Linux Module” not a “Windows Module”.

    I guess they could have called it “Windows Subsystem for Linux support”

      And is that subsystem for windows or for Linux?

      Like…how do you find the zoom release for Linux? I thinks it’s very stable and now and very comparable to the version available for widows.
