WSL2 broken

The Register damage control

Summary: Microsoft deleting many people's work (and killing a product) is "consolidation" and WSL2 being broken by Microsoft (remotely, users unable to prevent this) is an opportunity for promotional videos (ads) about Windows; that sums up the bias of today's so-called 'journalism' (when the publishers are being paid by Microsoft)
