Microsoft did a lot of work behind the scenes to make wsl 2 possible to fully explain all of the architecture changes that we did.
First you need to understand the architecture of the wsl 1, which is the current version that's widely available
In wsl 1, we have a translation based approach. So we have actual Linux user space binaries that are provided by the maintainers like canonical Debian open Sousa. These are the actual binaries that run, and whenever they have a system call like accessing memory, or files or network, we call down to yourself translation layer, we translate these system calls from a Linux system call to a Windows system call. And that goes down to the Windows NT kernel NT kernel sends a response back up to our translation layer we translate that back to something that Linux would understand anything the day we've implemented the application binary interface for Linux. This works great, because everything ran under the same kernel. However, there were some challenges, Windows and Linux have very different semantics. And so this could be complicated, especially when the semantics were diametrically opposed from each other, individual to we've moved to a virtualization based approach rather than a translation layer.
So we have your linux distribution which has all your user space binaries. And we put that inside of a lightweight utility VM. This is a VM, that is really fast it boots up and under a second, and does not hog tonnes of resources on your machine. And we've put a real Linux kernel inside of this. This is a kernel that is built by Microsoft maintained by Microsoft and is totally open source and all the source code is available on GitHub.
Whenever you have a system call from your Linux user space binaries. It comes down to this kernel and is immediately responded. So this means that you don't have to go through this translation layer, which is what leads to 100% system call compatibility and way faster file IO performance at the end of day this all runs on the windows hypervisor layer, and to power this VM.
And Microsoft also included all of your favourite windows integration features with w cells such as accessing all your windows files and running Windows executables straight from this Linux environment.
