Care to elaborate howto for dummies?
1. take any linux that supports docker 2. run a base container based on the linux distribution you want, apply customizations if required 3. once the container has terminated, export the container as a tar file 4. import that tarfile in WSL like so: |wsl --import <DistroName> <InstallLocation> <InstallTarFile>| That's all folks. In greater detail: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/use-custom-distro That is how I got RHEL8 into WSL on my computer - Exported a container based on the freely available/usable UBI8 image :) Cheerz MH -- Mathias Homann Mathias.Homann@openSUSE.org Jabber (XMPP): lemmy@tuxonline.tech IRC: [Lemmy] on freenode and ircnet (bouncer active) keybase: https://keybase.io/lemmy gpg key fingerprint: 8029 2240 F4DD 7776 E7D2 C042 6B8E 029E 13F2 C102
