You will access the WSL filesystem easily from the Windows Explorer soon

by ·

WSL is a Microsoft-designed compatibility layer that enables Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 to run Linux binaries in ELE format on their Windows computers. In the just-released version of Windows 10 20H1, Windows 10 provides a new feature that allows insiders to access the Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL) file system using Windows Explorer.

If you want to manage its Linux files in Windows Explorer, users must open their Linux distribution, earn a Linux home folder, and type command:

explorer.exe .

Alternatively, you can access subsystem files in PowerShell via \\wsl$\{distro name}\
