I have no experience with WSL but I've been reading up on it as I think my main computer should probably be less than ten years old. With Windows 11 it sounds like WSL now has a full kernel. So I guess that would take disk space, but it sounds like a pretty complete implementation. On my existing

Another option for some is the Windows Subsystem for Linux which I demo'd at an earlier GTALUG meeting. No boot issues, fewer graphics and PulseAudio problems, and it works fairly well for the light loads I have given it. Evan Leibovitch, Toronto
