Description

Looking for confirmation that Thunderbolt is available in Ubuntu for WSL on Insider.

If so, can anyone point me to steps to install needed Linux components on WSL. Is thunderbolt 3 capability already part of any currently available WSL distros on Insider?

I have Windows machines on a LAN for testing Thunderbolt Networking and specifically Thunderbolt network adapter bridging.

Thunderbolt adapter bridging can be done on 132 using Win existing GUI's (Networking Connections) with multiple hacks only. I want to see how easy/hard it is to bridge connections using WSL
