WSL 1 is not capable of running all Linux software, such as 32-bit binaries, [41] [42] or those that require specific Linux kernel services not implemented in WSL. Due to a total lack of Linux in WSL 1, kernel modules, such as device drivers, cannot be run. WSL 2, however, makes use of live virtualized Linux kernel instances.
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 .
The SRP fabric module was released with Linux 3.3 on March 18, 2012. [ 24 ] In 2012, c't magazine measured almost 5000 MB/s throughput with LIO SRP Target over one Mellanox ConnectX-3 port in 56 Gbit/s FDR mode on a Sandy Bridge PCI Express 3.0 system with four Fusion-IO ioDrive PCI Express flash memory cards.
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.
In the extreme case - user can use a computer without a GUI and even browse the internet in a terminal, without images, in Lynx, on a weak computer. A light-weight Linux distribution is a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution.
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.
They don't have to buy the software, they don't have to pay for technical support. They download software for free & use Instant Messaging and web-based forums to get help. They deal with people, not corporations. [61] More recently critics have found that the Linux user support model, using community-based forum support, has greatly improved.
musl was designed from scratch to allow efficient static linking and to have realtime-quality robustness by avoiding race conditions, internal failures on resource exhaustion, and various other bad worst-case behaviors present in existing implementations. [4]
