Since WSL 2 is now packed with the actual Kernels and Linux apps, you can also run the Ubuntu GUI. You are saving 3x less time which is of huge significance in programming and software development. The latest WSL 2 took 4.09 seconds to transfer Google’s homepage in comparison to WSL 1’s 11.64 seconds. Here is an example of how fast and efficient WSL 2 is in comparison to WSL 1. Basically, for serious programmers and students, it’s a boon having Windows and full Linux support side by side. Also, there was limited command support on WSL 1 which has now been replaced by full support with WSL 2. The WSL 1 was shipped with a Linux kernel compatibility layer that took significantly more time to decompile commands and answer system calls. It takes almost 20x less time than WSL 1 to fetch I/O commands and compile programs which are huge improvements. With the release of WSL 2, you can do much more on Windows 10 since it comes with a real Linux kernel.
