WSL

How many of you use WSL in Windows ? Does it help overall ? What use do you make of it ?

I use WSL2 - much better than WSL V1.
Personally use it for development, and to spin up a few docker containers which I can use for testing

Katos I use WSL2 - much better than WSL V1.

How to find the version of WSL in Windows ?

Mirage you can type
wsl -l -v and under version it should hopefully say 2. 😉

How do you upgrade from WSL 1 to WSL 2 ? What are the benefits ?

All its key features will be available, including

File system performance now on par with Mac and Linux speeds
Improved System Call Support for all Linux applications notably: Docker, FUSE, rsync, etc.
Full Linux kernel
Docker Desktop has added support to use WSL 2 as its engine
