The "built-in Linux" is a VM.

I'm aware, though there's some nice integration stuff that means you can run GUI applications and share the file system

Interesting fact WSLv1 was actually not a VM and it was the NT kernel speaking POSIX

And this is why the WSL1 filesystem was so damn slow. WSL2 uses a native ext4 filesystem (usually, you can format it to whatever)
