* RHEL officially coming * new tar-based images - "Set the WSL distro name and install location with wsl --install options --name and --location (Now you can install straight to your other hard drives!)" * friendship with your Corp IT guys - Intune integration and Entra ID integration

I noticed that blog post only mentions "WSL" not "WSL 1" or "WSL 2". It appears this post is just talking about WSL 2. This seems to be the trend coming from MS: "WSL" is referring to WSL 2 only. I guess WSL 1 is becoming deprecated.

it's not receiving new features and basically hard to do real improvements which are very Linux tied, so provided as is I think.

Noway if I need systemd, I can try to run in on WSL1 and this won't change.
