> Using Docker with WSL is a breeze

Have there been some updates recently? About a year ago we were trying to use Docker on a windows host at work, and dealing with things like file system paths was a nightmare

WSL is Linux. They run the unmodified Linux kernel in a pico-process an docker runs on top of that.

Technically there shouldn’t be file system issues right?

It’s not an unmodified kernel.

It is basically an unmodified kernel. Like in any purpose-built usage of Linux, it is compiled with specific options and patches for the environment it is made to run in, but you can replace it with your own kernel image if you want.

Can you explain what modifications you believe it has that typical installations of Linux don't?

Don’t try to rephrase what I said to put words in my mouth. I stated a fact, which you can verify here if you please. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel Please let us know what you find.
