With LXC you still have just one Linux kernels, but for processes it <br>
"feels" like they have their own kernel "alone" but actually they are <br>
just isolated from the other processes. The kernel got better in <br>
providing processes own seperated "environments".<br>
<br>
WSL is bascially using a VM<br>

I don't really see why (except for engineering curiosity maybe) but <br>
google, maybe there is something like this, you might also like Debian <br>
GNU k FreeBSD<br>
