Nvidia releases a Linux desktop supercomputer that's better price/performance wise than anything Wintel is doing and their whole new software stack will only run on WSL2. They aren't porting to Win32. Wow, it may actually be the year of Linux on the Desktop.

Where does it say they won't be supporting Win32?

Here he says that in order for the cloud and the PC to be compatible, he's going to only support WSL2, the Windows subsystem for Linux which is a Linux API on top of Windows.

Here's a link to the part of the keynote where he says this:

"Linux API on top of Windows" is an interesting way to describe a virtual machine.

That’s more like WSL1, yes.
