Can you now use WSL2 together with other hypervisors like VirtualBox or VMWare? A while back WSL2 required use of HyperV and that removes possibility to run other VM software.

Big no go for anyone who also want to test software in other VMs

Yes. I don't recall which version support was added in, but a recent Windows 10 release build using WSL 2 can coexist with both VirtualBox and VMware Workstation.
