As a long-term Linux user, I tried running Ubuntu under the Windows Subsystem for Linux. I works!

I have tried to setup ecryptfs, but this fails complaining that kernel module is missing. Here I don't know enough about WSL, but it appears to come with a custom kernel.

Can I essily encrypt WSL? If Luks is the answer, how do I enter the passphrase? The boot process is hidden.

For the easy option / question - do you have bitlocker enabled? That’s not enough?

Do you want the encrypted folder to be automatically-unlocked or unlocked with a password

You can build your own Linux kernel for WSL, I haven’t done it and unless that sounds like fun to you that’s not the route I’d go.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
