CentWSL is a CentOS-based Linux distribution packaged for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), built on the wsldl launcher framework. The project is discontinued and its README directs users to alternative RHEL-like WSL distributions.
Use cases
- run centos inside wsl on windows 10
- install a rhel-like linux distro on windows subsystem for linux
- use centos tooling without a vm on windows
- set up a centos development environment on windows
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained CentOS or RHEL-like WSL distribution
- you need CentOS 8 Stream or newer
- you are not on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or later
