If you've heard of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, for shorT), but thought it was "just another dev tool," don't miss this episode of Tackling Tech!

They also walk through what's next for WSL, including integration with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID, a new distro architecture (which will help with support for Red Hat), and a better experience for new users.
