Looks like MS is a little worried. Lot of Linux talk lately... I think this might be good. It might help dispell myths and folks can try Linux to get an idea what it is really like. :)

Although they are reserving some control for themselves. Got any expert heads up on these files dayglored?

“It is worth noting that the following components are still part of the Windows image and are not open sourced at this time: Lxcore.sys, the kernel side driver that powers WSL 1. P9rdr.sys and p9np.dll, which run the “\\wsl.localhost” filesystem redirection (from Windows to Linux) are also closed source for now.”

None yet. I'll be looking into it soon, though. I have engineers who might be interested in trying it.

WSL2 goes Open Source! ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to Openurmind for the ping!

Lmfao, it’s extremely sad microsoft has a whole dev department with complete access and control to the kernels inner workings and they are using P9.
