But it’s not simple. It’s nothing like a “simple” VM.

Once Microsoft finishes the work on DXGI for Linux, it won't even have to be headless.

It's also very paravirtualized, which is why HyperV enlightenments are required for WSL2 guest.

Sure, it has some nice integrations, but I don't see how this article is in contradiction with what I've said. (To be clear, I didn't mean it as a critique, I like Hyper-V)
