In 2022, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) exploded in popularity, with millions of users taking advantage of the ability to develop, create and administrate inside a native Linux environment deeply integrated with Windows.
This is thanks in large part to continued investment from Microsoft, consistently rolling out new features and updates for the platform on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. As the most popular distribution for WSL, the Ubuntu team is committed to supporting and building on these features to ensure that we deliver a polished and powerful Ubuntu WSL experience.
We’re looking forward to enhancing Ubuntu WSL in 2023 with new features for enterprise users and developers. But for now let’s take a look back at our 2022 highlights and round up all of the changes and updates that landed in the last 12 months!
To kick things off, check out Microsoft PM Craig Loewen’s Ubuntu Summit talk on the past, present and future of WSL.
