The /usr/lib/wsl/drivers folder takes up a lot of memory

I have a WSL2 Ubuntu. The /usr/lib/wsl/drivers folder takes up a lot of memory (about 8 GB). Is there a way to clean it up? I don't use WSLg (Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI). I've already added

WSL2 /dev/console, /dev/ttyN, /dev/vcsN and /dev/hvc0

In WSL2, writing to /dev/console goes nowhere apparent. What happens to things written there? This question is generally to clarify the role of virtual consoles in WSL2 and hvc0. A 2010 post with no

WSL Ubuntu: cursor changed to Adwaitha 48 worked once

I changed it, and it worked once. I needed it because KOReader cursor was ultra tiny on my hi-res monitor. It was good until I rebooted my Windows 11 Pro. Then nothing I tried would get it working ...

Windows Subsystem for FreeBSD is an unofficial work-in-progress project to let you run FreeBSD in Windows by adapting the open source components of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. So far it boots and supports "basic functionality." https://github.com/BalajeS/WSL-For-FreeBSD #WSFB #WindowsSubsystemForFreeBSD #WSL #WindowsSubsystemForLinux

@wyatt I still have 3 gripes with what #Microsoft calls #WSL:

1. It's not a "#Windows Subsystem for #Linux", but a "Linux Subsystem for Windows". The real #WindowsSubsystemForLinux is called #Wine, as it provides #Win32 & #Win64 calls on Linux!

2. The "#Unix Subsystem for Windows" aka. "Unix Services for Windows" were to a degree better.

3. "WSL" is less of a compatibility layer and more of a #HyperV - #VM, which also results in issues with #VMware / #VMwareWorkstation and #VirtualBox.

In short, I'd rather put Windows in a VM on Linux than the other way around...
