(I have the entire World Singles Networks dev/test stack running on WSL2 on my new Surface Laptop 3 at this point: Docker for Percona/ElasticSearch/Redis, CLI (1.10.1.681) for running tests, Atom and REBL running on WSL2 via VcXsrv; incl. our full Apache config and even our legacy CFML apps... oh, and php 5.6 which I needed to power Daux which produces our API documentation... I am very, very impressed with what Microsoft has managed to do here...)
And Canonical
Yeah, true, they've been behind a lot of this too. I had never used Ubuntu before WSL. I was always a Red Hat / CentOS guy.
There’s also other distros available on WSL2 but I’m going with Ubuntu 20.04
