Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL2 Deep Dive

In this video, I will try to answer some questions related to the Windows Subsystem for Linux, that I have got after posting my previous video:

What distributions are supported by WSL?
The official ones can be listed using:
wsl --list --online
The unofficial ones can be searched using Microsoft Store.

Where is located the WSL Ubuntu instance?
Given the basic installation, the actual files are in a virtual disk named ext4.vhdx, typically find it under: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Canonical...\LocalState\ext4.vhdx. Your %userprofile% is typically something like C:\Users\username.

How do I access files in WSL2 from Windows?
To access files in WSL from Windows, use the \\wsl$\Ubuntu path (or whatever your distribution is named).

How do I access files in my Windows machine from WSL2?
If you are in Ubuntu and need access to a file on a Windows drive (e.g. C:), then you'll find those are (by default) auto-mounted for you:
ls /mnt/c

How to perform an offline install of a Linux distribution:
download the appx bundle package from:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/win...
then in your PowerShell terminal execute the command:
Add-AppxPackage .\distribution_name.appx
