Wait, what do you mean exactly? Isn't WSL2 just a VM essentially? Don't you mean it'll run on Linux (which you also can run on WSL2)?

Or will it really only work with WSL2? I was excited as I thought it was just a Linux Workstation, but if WSL2 gets involved/is required somehow, then I need to run the other direction.

Yes, WSL2 is essentially a highly integrated VM. I think it's a bit of a joke to call Ubuntu WSL2, because it seems like most Ubuntu installs are either VMs for Windows PCs or on Azure Cloud.

No, nobody will run windows on this. It's meant to run NVIDIAs own flavor of Ubuntu with a patched kernel
