Microsoft has released Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2.0.0 with a set of new opt-in experimental features, including a new network mode and automated memory and disk size cleanup.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) enables the start of a Linux system and the use of Linux applications under Windows. Performance can also be improved with a new kernel.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a software offering that works as a compatibility layer between Windows itself and the binary executables of a given Linux distro – it is, a glue, essentially.
