A complete walkthrough of the global .wslconfig file — setting memory, CPU, swap, and networking behavior for every WSL2 distro on your machine from one central configuration file.
A complete walkthrough of the practical steps for personally preserving old floppy disks, cartridges, and software before physical media degrades past the point of recovery — imaging, verifying, and archiving properly.
A complete walkthrough running several separate Linux distros side by side under WSL — installing additional distros, switching between them, and setting a specific one as your default.
A complete walkthrough using patent filings and formal standards documents as primary sources for tracing who actually built what first — the same kind of evidence that settled the ENIAC/ABC dispute in court.
Each WSL2 distro's filesystem lives inside a dynamically-expanding .vhdx file on your Windows drive. It grows automatically as you use it — but deleting files inside WSL doesn't shrink it back down, and that's expected, not a bug.
A complete walkthrough getting WSL2 and a Linux distro running from a clean Windows installation — the single-command path, and what to check if it doesn't work cleanly the first time.
A complete walkthrough preparing for and navigating a real or virtual visit to a computing history museum — what to look for, which institutions maintain the strongest collections, and how to use their digital archives remotely.
You deleted gigabytes of files inside a WSL distro, but your Windows C: drive shows no space freed up at all. This is expected dynamic-VHD behavior, not a bug — and it has a specific, direct fix.
Training a machine learning model inside WSL2 using your actual GPU sounds like it shouldn't work through a virtual machine layer at all. Here's the specific virtualized GPU mechanism that makes it possible.
WSL dropped its 'Preview' label in the Microsoft Store on November 22, 2022, decoupling its update cycle from Windows itself entirely — meaning WSL improvements could ship on their own schedule going forward.
