    I'm confused why VM + systemd-nspawn? From my understaing WSL 2 runs a single VM + something like systemd-nspawn per "linux installation", but it runs a VM because it needs linux kernel. Why not just do systemd-nspawn if you alread on linux?

      you could, and if that&#x27;s your preference <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nspawn.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nspawn.org is just right.

        Neat, I wasn&#x27;t aware of this tool. I just either run nixosContainer in systemd-nspawn or OCI image in systemd-nspawn.
