If you are in Windows Insider the wait is over, for you Raft will help you with your WSL 2 distributions. If you are in Windows stable you will be ready when you receive the update and Raft will help you in your migration process.

So what’s new in Raft WSL?

Full WSL 2 support:

Raft will show if your distribution is in WSL 1 or 2: A visual indicator over the distribution will indicate to you which version your distribution is installed.
Change the default WSL between versions 1 and 2: You can choose every time which version do you want to be used for new installations and for snapshot restoring.
Change the WSL version for any installed distribution: Your existing distributions can be switched to WSL 2 and switched back to WSL 1. Raft will offer to create a snapshot in case something goes bad.
Enable WSL 2 support in Windows if it is needed: When you receive your update to Windows 10 2004, Raft WSL will help you enabling WSL 2 support upon your request.

Running indicator: Now Raft put a green dot when your distro is running.

Either you are an insider or use stable versions of Windows this update will help you squeeze the best of WSL.

Cheers
