WSL2 is coming with an actual Linux kernel.

• WSL2 uses a lightweight virtualization layer to run a recent Linux kernel maintained by Microsoft.

• WSL2 offers massive speed and application compatibility solutions, including native Docker.

• Pengwin will be ready for WSL2 on day one.

• WSL2 will ship in Windows Insider builds as early as June.

Windows Terminal is the new open-source terminal for WSL, PowerShell, and Command Line. It even got it’s own promo video below featuring, among the distros, Pengwin.

And, by the way, Hayden and Patrick on the Pengwin team presented on Leveraging WSL For DevOps and Cross-Platform Development. You can stream it live now for free.
