      only the second version. wsl1 is pure black magic. the communication layer is 9P, which means that windows is currently the only mainstream OS capable of talking to a Plan9 network out of the box.

        this is really cool, is it still possible to run the first version on current win10?

          i think so. it has much better inter-filesystem transfer performance than wsl2, but worse compatibility. so they keep it around for people who need the performance.
