@tcyrus Thank you. For sure LoWe will move to Unix Domain Sockets soon. LoWe officially supports the most recent stable release of W10 and WSL and not insider builds.

Thanks for the reply. This feature was added in build 17093 which is not a stable release yet.

Now that we're a major release beyond this point, any plans to move forward with that?

@ericblade Oh yes. At the time when 17093 was released I already checked the possibilities. As you know the Windows-side is a .NET application, and Unix Domain Sockets are still not supported out of the box in .NET. I tried to find some cool NuGet packages, etc. but no success.

If you could recommend me a nice UDS implementation for .NET I'd be more than happy.
