-Linux binaries use system calls to perform many functions such as accessing files, requesting memory, creating processes, and more. Whereas WSL 1 used a translation layer that was built by the WSL team, WSL 2 includes its own Linux kernel with full system call compatibility. This introduces a whole new set of apps that you can run inside of WSL, such as Docker and more. Additionally, any updates to the Linux kernel can be immediately ready to be added to your computer, rather than waiting for the WSL team to implement the changes and then have them added.
