I’d be interested in reading a retrospective of WSL1. The approach they took seemed really interesting, but I guess it didn’t pan out as they expected as they fell back to “running Linux in a VM” with WSL2 instead of syscall emulation

What I couldn't tell, was which version of WSL the Store version gives you! I think it's heavily hinted that it's WSL2, but if it's in black and white, I'll be damned!

Is it now available for Windows 10 server? I think so far you could only use WSL1
