What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A project that converts CentOS QCOW2 cloud images into RootFS tarballs for use with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Builds are automated via GitHub Actions and published as releases for CentOS 6 through 9-stream.
Use cases
- run centos inside wsl on windows
- import a centos rootfs into wsl
- get centos 7 or 8-stream as a wsl distro
- test rpm packages in a centos environment on windows
When to choose
- you want CentOS under WSL without a VM
- you need an older CentOS release (6/7/8) for WSL
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained distro image (last release mid-2023)
- you use a non-WSL Linux setup
