Which is basically a VM. It's not that the Windows kernel isn't running even when using WSL.

It's just a compatibility layer satisfying the kernel API (= syscalls). It's an API on top of the Windows kernel.

That's WSL 1 you're thinking about.

Wsl2 has complete kernel not just syscall translation
