From 93d9431890540dfdc1021dffca3eeebdc19d338d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marc=20Cornell=C3=A0?= Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 23:47:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Check for Microsoft's WSL in open_command (#6751) This will work only on files and directories in a DrvFs mount, i.e. that can be translated to a Windows drive path. For example: /mnt/c/Users/user. Files and folders inside the LXSS directory can't be handled in Windows, they must be ONLY used by the WSL subsystem. That's why you won't be able to open your $HOME directory, for instance.
