If you want a complete look at what build is in which Insider ring, head over to . Please note, there will be a slight delay between when a build is flighted and when Flight Hub is updated.
What’s new in Build 20150
Three new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) features: GPU compute, WSL install, and WSL update
This build contains three new exciting WSL features. The first is GPU compute: a feature that allows your Linux binaries to leverage your GPU, which makes it possible to do more machine learning development and data science workflows directly in WSL. Secondly, we’ve added a new command: `wsl –install` which allows you to install WSL with just one command. Lastly, we’ve added `wsl –update` which gives you the ability to easily manage the Linux kernel version used by WSL 2 distros. To view a summary of these announcements please , and for in-depth details on GPU compute in WSL please on the Windows Developer blog.
Other updates for Insiders
Updating the map data in the Maps app
Earlier this month, they’ve started gradually rolling out the new TomTom base map data to Bing Maps and Microsoft first party products. As part of this process, we’re slowly updating the Maps app for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel (Fast ring) to use the new map data from TomTom. We’re asking Insiders to submit feedback on any issues they see as a result of this change directly from the Maps app by selecting Suggest a change at the lower right corner of the app.
General changes & improvements
When we speak against racism and discrimination people react. Often with messages of support and sometimes with labels and words of discouragement. Instead of running away from them, the LGBTQI+ community at Microsoft decided to open up and invite all to a dialogue. Because a dialogue can lead to understanding, and understanding can lead to change.
Thanks,
BLB
