Update: WSL2 on windows 10, seems to be installing UBUNTU without asking a choice From 04/28/2022 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps (this is for Windows 11 Build 22000 or later)


BUT from "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-now-lets-you-seamlessly-run-linux-gui-apps/#:~:text=Windows%2010%20now%20lets%20you%20run%20Linux%20GUI,GUI%20applications%2C%22%20Senior%20Program%20Manager%20Brandon%20LeBlanc%20said." "Windows 10 now lets you run Linux GUI apps (X11 and Wayland) without using a virtual machine after Microsoft added GUI support to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)." So : No need for Virtual box anymore(?!),

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21364, is a must for WSLg install? It's a no go for Edition Windows 10 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎29/‎12/‎2021 OS build 19044.1645 Serial number MP21S3.. Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0

WSL2 if no -d or ----distribution flag then autoinstall UBUNTU

--status

       Show the status of Windows Subsystem for Linux.
   --update [Options]
       If no options are specified, the WSL 2 kernel will be updated
       to the latest version.
       Options:
           --rollback
           Revert to the previous version of the WSL 2 kernel.

Seems a good idea to PowerShell> wsl --update

                          1. My system #############

Default Distribution: Ubuntu-20.04 Default Version: 2

Windows Subsystem for Linux was last updated on 5/5/2022 The Windows Subsystem for Linux kernel can be manually updated with 'wsl --update', but automatic updates cannot occur due to your system settings. To receive automatic kernel updates, please enable the Windows Update setting: 'Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows'. For more information please visit https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel.

Kernel version: 5.10.16

                          1. My system :end #############

On Ubuntu side after reboot , and auto install U-20.04 all seems preety uptodate. Very little in >sudo apt update >sudo apt upgrade

A couple of safety points, do one need to Linux> sync before exiting ? and similar on WSL2 side to exit with win10> wsl --terminate, -t <Distro>
