Update: WSL2 on windows 10, seems to be installing UBUNTU without asking a choice From 04/28/2022 [1], this is for Windows 11 Build 22000 or later.
BUT from [2] : "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
- 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
- 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>
