A new open-source project called NSL has been released, described by its creator as 'WSL for Linux' — a reference to Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux, which lets users run Linux environments inside Windows. The tool is presented as bringing a similar subsystem-style capability to Linux, letting users run other environments or systems natively. It was shared publicly as a show-and-tell release and drew quick attention from developers, with discussion centring on how the approach compares to existing container and virtualisation tools.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Linux container support in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, allowing developers to run and manage containers directly from their WSL environments on Windows. The move tightens the integration between Windows and Linux tooling and is drawing attention from developers who see WSL increasingly becoming a genuine Linux development platform rather than a convenience layer.

Microsoft has released WSL Containers for Windows 11, extending the Windows Subsystem for Linux with container-based isolation. The move is aimed at developers who run Linux tools and environments on Windows, offering improved separation and management of Linux workloads. Coverage so far is limited, with the release noted by Windows-focused outlets and expected to draw interest from the developer community.
