thank you this helped. I had windows 11 home and thought I needed hyper-v but was easily able to install ubuntu wsl without it.

I'm new to this theme, so could you please explain what is the point of installing Linux on Windows and then installing Windows Terminal on Linux?

[francksgenlecroyant]

Nice bro, keep it up. It helped me a lot.

Normalweise muss man den subsystem aktivieren oder?

I keep getting a wsl error: "The term wsl is not recognized as the name of the cmdlet, function etc" any work around for this?

[dwaynehawkins]

I'm a complete linux newb - was kind of expecting to have the gui and not (only) a command line. After a quick search it seems I only need to do an extra 35 commands which I know nothing about xD

I have run through the manual instructions over and over. When I get to the wsl --list --verbose step, I get 'Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.' in Administrator: W Powershell. when I run wsl --list --verbose in Standard User Windows Powershell I get That I am using Version 1.

Hi Stefan. Thanks for the presentation.
I installed wsl using easy way. But when I check the version it is 1. Why is it so?

I am using windows 10 21H2 (OS build 19044.2006)
