Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemd init system. The packages, called snaps, and the tool for using them, snapd, work across a range of Linux distributions [3] and allow upstream software developers to distribute their applications directly to users.
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.
In 2009 Squashfs was merged into Linux mainline as part of Linux 2.6.29. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] In that process, the backward-compatibility code for older formats was removed. Since then the Squashfs kernel-space code has been maintained in the Linux mainline tree, while the user-space tools remain on the project's GitHub page.
Due to its robustness and compactness, Alpine Linux is tightly integrated with popular developer and system administrator environments and toolsets. Microsoft Store offers a deployment-ready version of Alpine WSL [24] for WSL2; Docker offers official images of Alpine Linux [25] Microsoft PowerShell provides an Alpine Linux specific build [26]
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 .
To enable use of the tool, a referenced library must have a corresponding .pc file stored in the file system location designated for that purpose (the location varies by system). This file should be stored as part of the installation process as handled by RPM, deb, or other packaging system or by compiling from source code.
antiX (/ ˈ æ n t ɪ k s /) is a Linux distribution, originally based on MEPIS, which itself is based on the Debian stable distribution. [3] antiX initially replaced the MEPIS KDE desktop environment with the Fluxbox and IceWM window managers, making it suitable for older, less powerful x86-based systems.
Loadable kernel modules in Linux are loaded (and unloaded) by the modprobe command. They are located in /lib/modules or /usr/lib/modules and have had the extension .ko ("kernel object") since version 2.6 (previous versions used the .o extension). [5] The lsmod command lists the loaded kernel modules.
