Microsoft Rolling Out New Windows Subsystem For Linux "WSL" Features For 2024

Given Microsoft's recent BUILD conference, Microsoft has announced a number of sizable updates to Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

This automatic memory reclaim support is a great addition and makes Windows behave better especially for systems with limited amounts of RAM. Windows Subsystem for Linux has also enabled DNS tunneling by default for improved network support. This in-development GUI should make it easier for WSL2 users to manage all of their settings without the command-line or manually manipulating configuration files.
