Larvitz :fedora: :redhat:

There's moments, where I have to use a certain proprietary operating system from Redmond (be it because of customers requirements or loaner hardware etc.)

But this is now a magnitude less painful, since Fedora Linux 42 is now officially available as an official Linux distribution for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) version 2 🥳 :fedora:

1. Installing WSL:
wsl.exe --install

2. Installing Fedora-42:
wsl.exe --install -d FedoraLinux-42

3. Setting Fedora as the default distribution for WSL:
wsl.exe --set-default FedoraLinux-42
wslconfig.exe /setdefault FedoraLinux-42

4. Running Fedora in Windows:
wsl.exe

Also works perfectly fine in combination with VSCode/VSCodium for Ansible development on Windows.

Arch Linux now has an official WSL image | @Antiz

｢ More generally speaking, WSL provides an easy and straightforward way to get access to a full Linux environment, allowing to perform Linux development / testing or simply to try & run a Linux distribution directly from Windows; increasing its discoverability & accessibility ｣

Robin Candau · Arch Linux now has an official WSL image…and it is officially (re)distributed by Microsoft! A few months ago, the eventuality of building and providing an official Arch Linux WSL image (Windows Subsystem for Linux - a Microsoft solution allowing to run Linux environments within Windows) was brought to the table within the Arch Linux staff. This subject was actually explored a few years back but got turned down due to multiple concerns and lack of interest at the time. But WSL have come a long way since then and minds evolved to the point where people were generally willing to reconsider it.

So, I'm currently installing WSL in an attempt to get Windows 11 to view various ext4 filesystems, as I do a lot of stuff with Rasperry Pi machines. This feels...kinda wrong. I hope it works though. I know just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be a true expert.
