Test and document Fission with WSL

MCTaylor17 commented 5 years ago

In preparing for testing, I encountered the news of MS's new re-architecture of WSL to make use of virtualization. Based on the architectural differences, I've created a separate issue (#10) to track them independently.

For clarity, I'll be referring to them as "WSL1" and "WSL2" respectively.

WSL Setup Process

For reference, there are two options for enabling WSL. Only PowerShell is documented in the official docs.

Option 1: PowerShell As Admin:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Option 2: GUI

Start > Search "Turn Windows features on or off" > Check "Windows Subsystem for Linux" > Restart

Note: This is required for both WSL1 and WSL2
