Show HN: NSL – WSL for Linux

One of the things that Windows really got right is WSL2. I drive an atomic Linux distro for daily use, but wanted a way to develop with multiple different distros with that same WSL UX. NSL is my answer. It is a faithful reproduction of the developer experience, powered by a single VM that hosts one or more systemd-nspawn containers with your development instances. Host file edits and port sharing come along for the ride, just like WSL. Take a look and tell me what you think... It's yet another step in my long journey to keep my host installation free from all the changing and breaking dev dependencies that force a reinstall every few months.

IS it LXC containers or docker? Or are you running a custom chroot namespace setup?

Haven't checked the actual project but he does state he uses systemd-nspawn. Which is it's own kind of container runtime.

The project is cool, but please use human written text.

The website's Claudisms are unbearable.
