Microsoft has announced the official support of Fedora Linux as a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distribution, starting with Fedora 42. This integration allows developers to seamlessly run Linux applications alongside Windows without needing a virtual machine. The installation process involves specific commands for WSL, and while essential tools are included, users must manually install Flatpak. The Fedora community is actively working on enhancing this integration, promising support for various development tools and graphical application capabilities with hardware acceleration in future updates.
Today, Microsoft announced that Fedora Linux is officially supported as a WSL distribution. The Fedora Project is using WSL's new tar-based architecture to create WSL images, starting with Fedora 42.
The support Microsoft now provides further extends the versatility of WSL and offers developers another popular Linux distribution directly within Windows.
