Sidenote: it is extremely simple to "get" any linux into your WSL, I actually have a RHEL 8 in my WSL as well :)
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.
Thanks, that sounds promising. One more question - do I need administrative privileges to deploy Linux under WSL2? I am in a restricted environment, I can enable WSL2 on my notebook but I do not have administrative privileges to do anything.
