Scared of editing a config file? There'll soon be a GUI for that
The Windows Subsystem for Linux is due to receive a user interface for settings as well as management enhancements to make the platform more attractive to enterprise administrators.
Loewen noted:"The Linux-style .wslconfig file, text-based approach works well for specific targeted changes. However, it can be difficult to know exactly what settings and input values are available to use in this text-based approach."Microsoft also said that Entra ID integration was on the way – starting with a public preview in July or August 2024.
In terms of right now, Loewen noted that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's WSL 2 support had emerged from public preview into general availability, and Intune integration meant that conditional access scenarios can now be enforced based on the state of the Linux distro itself – in a public preview.
