    The Github issue you linked to was for WSL version 1. WSL2 (which had already been available for 18 months when your answer was written) does have a real Linux kernel. Please see this answer for the right explanation. Thanks! Commented Oct 2, 2021 at 21:16
  • That answer doesn't address FUSE though, so it's still not clear whether WSL2 would help. Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 23:00

    Ok, this and this make clear that FUSE is compiled into the WSL2 kernel. Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 23:06
  • Thanks @SteveBennett . I updated the answer with your comments Commented Dec 7, 2021 at 3:17
  • WSL2 is unusably so slow, WSL1 doesnt support Fuse, ... nice idea this WSL, but does not work. Commented Sep 27, 2023 at 8:03
