WSL/wsl-config.md: rewrite lead for clarity by multiplealiases · Pull Request #2021 · MicrosoftDocs/WSL
Dec 17, 2024 - github.com
The article discusses the configuration files `wsl.conf` and `.wslconfig`, which are used in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). `wsl.conf` is a file located within the Linux filesystem and is used to configure settings for individual WSL distributions, such as automount options and network settings. On the other hand, `.wslconfig` is a file located in the Windows user profile directory and is used to configure global settings for WSL 2, such as memory and processor limits.
A comparison table is included to highlight the differences between the two configuration files, making it easier for readers to understand their distinct purposes and functionalities. The article aims to provide a concise overview of these files, removing extraneous details to focus on their roles in managing WSL configurations.
