   VMS/XDE requires Linux. I don't think it matters what Linux runs on.   
      
   Linux on physical hardware. Linux on VMWare Player/Workstation on   
   Windows. Linux on VirtualBox on Windows. WSL on Windows.   
      
   WSL 2 is just a lightweight VM with good integration between   
   Linux and Windows.   
      
   I think there was a thread in the forum where it was said that   
   XDE performance would be bad if it was hosted in WSL using   
   a Windows file system aka XDE doing VMS to Linux translation   
   and WSL doing Linux to Windows translation. No surprise.   
      
   On the other hand WSL allows for indirect Windows VMS   
   integration.   
      
   But if you like Linux on physical hardware then you just   
   do that.
