Docker Desktop has added support to use WSL 2 as its engine, giving faster startup speeds and improved resource usage.įor now, WSL 2 on versions 19 is only available for 圆4 systems.Improved System Call Support for all Linux applications notably: Docker, FUSE, rsync, etc.File system performance now on par with Mac and Linux speeds.As pointed out by Microsoft, WSL 2 has several improvements over WSL 1: 'We heard how much you liked WSL 2 and wanted to expand its accessibility, and over the last few months we worked on bringing it back to 19,' Microsoft said in its announcement. Specifically, Windows 10 versions 19 can now take advantage of WSL 2. Microsoft announced this week (via ZDNet) that WSL 2 has been backported to older Windows 10 versions. The text displays only in the communication window on the other system, not on the system that was used to type the text.Windows 10 version 2004 is no longer a necessary upgrade if you want to take advantage of the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2). In the PuTTY Communication window, on either system, type any legible text. This begins a communication session with the chosen port. Make sure the Serial line to connect to field shows the COM port set in the previous step.Under Category section, click Connection > Serial. In the Serial line field, enter the COM port number determined in Step 3 for this system.In the PuTTY Configuration window, under Category section, click Session. On both systems, right-click PuTTY.exe and click Run as administrator.

(Using this example, the odd-numbered pins correspond to COM3 and the even-numbered pins to COM4.) For a dual serial cable, the odd-numbered pins on the header correspond to the lower-numbered COM port. Identify the COM port that the cable has been connected to on each system. Under Ports (COM & LPT), make a note of the COM ports assigned to the HS-UART Host Controller (usually COM3 and COM4).Ĭonnect the null modem cable between the serial port cable headers on the two systems.
