Public bug reported:
WSL on Ubuntu 22.04 has a strecth goal to ship systemd experimental support.
This relies on 3 changes:
- a script started up on WSL VM boot, which is shipped as part of this package
to start systemd in its own namespace.
- a change in the ubuntu Windows launcher executable, which is then looking for
the boot= parameter in wsl.conf and if systemd experimental support is enabled,
starts any new commands into that systemd namespace
- an option in our OOBE installer, under advanced menu, disabled by default, to
change the boot= parameter in wsl.conf. The feature will be labeled as
experimental.
So, this experimental support won’t be enabled by default and paved the way to
have a discussion with Microsoft for potential limitations and how we can get
this to a wider audience in the long term.
This feature is long-awaited for WSL users.
