Hands On Container wunderkind Docker has released a preview of Docker Desktop for Windows Subsystem for Linux 2. This peek at Docker Desktop 2 is based on the work Microsoft has done to make Windows Subsystem for Linux a full virtual machine (VM) with its own complete Linux kernel, instead of redirecting system calls as is done in the first version of WSL. This means that the docker daemon can run in WSL rather than in a separate Hyper-V VM.
