Dunno, looks pretty Linux to me.

(WSL1 did suck badly because it combined the limitations of NT - slow file ops and process spawn - with the limitations of a compatibility layer. WSL2 is good enough for compatibility testing work on e.g. dotnet)

It's still running with windows as a host, and I've been met with friction and weird quirks in the interaction between them every time I have tried to use it myself, or watched someone else do so.
