Re^4: What's happening with the Cygwin project?

I do not see any disadvantages in using WSL.

I've used WSL for some specific purposes, but from what I remember I had to allocate memory to it that could not be used by Windows. Perhaps I am misremembering, but if that is the case it's a big issue/disadvantage for me. With cygwin, both cygwin and windows have all the RAM available to them.

had to allocate memory to it that could not be used by Windows I have not had to do this — at least not explicitly. I'm currently using WSL on a fairly major project, using it as a vm for development, while the target environment is a Pi running Ubuntu.	[reply]

I just checked and it does seem like they can use the same RAM, although there is a default limit of 50% for wsl which can be changed in the .wslconfig file. I think the issue I was "remembering" may have been related to using docker within wsl.	[reply]
