About this tag
The wsl development tag on WindowsForum.com covers how Windows Subsystem for Linux fits into real developer and platform-engineering workflows. Recent discussion focuses on Android platform work done under WSL, including building Android platform images, maintaining Android Common Kernel trees, and supporting enterprise Android fleets. A key example is Google's proposal to retire the legacy C implementation of Android Binder, which would make Rust the only upstream Binder driver for future Linux kernels. For WSL-based developers, that shifts kernel configuration and build requirements, since enabling CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC would depend on Rust toolchain support while existing C Binder sources and related tests disappear.

    Android Binder Proposal Makes Rust Required for Linux Builds

    Google’s proposed removal of the legacy C implementation of Android Binder would turn Rust from an optional alternative into the only upstream Binder driver for future Linux kernels. For Windows developers who build Android platform images under WSL, maintain Android Common Kernel trees, or...
