A community-maintained compatibility list of Linux programs and how well they run under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Programs are rated 0-5 in a table with apt package names, notes, and tested Windows builds.
Use cases
- check if a linux tool works on wsl before installing
- find which programs are broken on windows subsystem for linux
- see compatibility ratings for bash on ubuntu on windows
- decide whether to run a cli program in wsl or natively on windows
- contribute test results for programs running under wsl
When to choose
- you are evaluating whether WSL can run a specific Linux program
- you want a quick community-sourced compatibility reference for WSL
- you want to report or browse real-world WSL program test results
When to avoid
- you need official, guaranteed-accurate WSL bug reports (use Microsoft's BashOnWindows repo)
- you need up-to-date information, as the list is community-maintained and may be stale
- you need a tool or software rather than a reference document
