Or they could do what windows did. Support windows docker for whatever use case that supports (never used it) and creating WSL which has Linux roots deep in the OS. I find WSL docker works great for development. Certainly wouldn’t use it in production.



WSL2 doesn't have Linux roots deep within Windows anymore, it's literally running a Linux VM with a full kernel under the HyperV hypervisor, so it's exactly like DfM (IIRC save for the fact that Windows then also runs under HyperV with the hypervisor sitting on top, Xen-like, and as is achieved on Xbox, and Linux running side by side instead of being handled by an OS process underneath the main OS)


In my experience it's anything but great. It's so slow and such a huge resource hog might as well run a full on Windows VM.
