New Ubuntu 20.04 Running on Windows WSL 2 with a Mainline Kernel
This past week Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was released by Canonical. Together with the official release, the WSL distro was also launched and is now available for download in the windows store for windows 10. One of the news about this ubuntu is that it comes with a new LTS Linux Kernel version 5.4. But in WSL it still uses the standard version from Microsoft, which uses LTS 4.19. So, in this video to celebrate the new version of Ubuntu we will compile a Mainline v5.7-rc Kernel Linux for WSL 2.
