WSL 2 (announced May 2019 [6]), introduced a real Linux kernel – a managed virtual machine (via Hyper-V) that implements the full Linux kernel. As a result, WSL 2 is compatible with more Linux binaries as not all system calls were implemented in WSL 1. [7] Microsoft offers WSL for a variety of reasons.
Azure Linux, previously known as CBL-Mariner (in which CBL stands for Common Base Linux), [3] is a free and open-source Linux distribution that Microsoft has developed. It is the base container OS for Microsoft Azure services [ 4 ] [ 5 ] and the graphical component of WSL 2 .
Microsoft Hyper-V nested hypervisor support. Faster kernel builds and with lower peak memory use. Removed support for the Intel ICC compiler. 6.2 19 February 2023 [1] 6.2.16 [7] 17 May 2023 [33] Intel Arc drivers are now deemed "stable" and on by default.

Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution designed to be small, simple, and secure. [3] It uses musl , BusyBox , and OpenRC instead of the more commonly used glibc , GNU Core Utilities , and systemd .
Linux-based operating systems can be used for playing video games.Because few games natively support the Linux kernel, various software has been made to run Windows games, software, and programs, such as Wine, Cedega, DXVK, and Proton, and managers such as Lutris and PlayOnLinux.
The kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer. Kernel Patch Protection (KPP), informally known as PatchGuard, is a feature of 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows that prevents patching the kernel. It was first introduced in 2005 with the x64 editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. [1]
kpatch is a feature of the Linux kernel that implements live patching of a running kernel, which allows kernel patches to be applied while the kernel is still running. By avoiding the need for rebooting the system with a new kernel that contains the desired patches, kpatch aims to maximize the system uptime and availability.
