Arch in WSL
Don't use it anymore but used it for a number of years after WSL came out. It involved some combination of https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL and Xming X. Worked great.
Roll your own or use something like https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL

My company forces me to use Cringedows, what can I do to suffer less?
• If you live in the linux terminal, I recommend installing WSL with a distro you like (I use arch here btw).

WSL - Microsoft Linux
It uses a customized version of the Linux kernel (repo) that integrates with the host Windows OS. You can build any distro on top of that kernel, as people have done with (of course) Arch. The distro isn't any less "real" than a distro that it run on QEMU (and with a level 1 hypervisor, all systems that uses one are technically virtualized already).

I'm stumped
Sorry to hear you've been having issues with this! I've recently started using vanilla vim with an Arch WSL distro here https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL and that's been working very well. Maybe Arch will work better with neovim than Ubuntu (if you're not against the learning curve of getting arch set up). I get it if it's not for you. Hope you can get it all figured it out!

How do you set up the PC port of A Link to the Past on Steam Deck?

wsl-archlinux-manager: An efficient & easy strategy to install and manage Arch Linux instances on WSL.
bash distroname config I installed Arch by essentially pulling the RootFS from a mirror and making it WSL friendly, so there was basically no way for me to configure or extend on this whatsoever. I did find this, but I found it suspicious after going through a bit of the source as there was virtually no build instructions on how the RootFS was built but rather just a magical prebuilt one.

Arch in WSL
Systemd works even in the non-store Windows 10 using https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod

Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?
In case you're using an older version of WSL that doesn't support systemd, you can give Distrod a try.
-
Losing everything due to WSL corruption?
It uses snapd (so in turn, systemd) so maybe that's what you missed. Up until the WSL update that brought systemd support I've been using distrod to have systemd in my WSL2 distros so it went all smoothly for me.

wsl-archlinux-manager: An efficient & easy strategy to install and manage Arch Linux instances on WSL.
I use distrod to get a wsl instance of Arch running. It's nice to have (some) systemd functionality with it ;)

I finally got arch linux working on windows 11(WSL2) By using docker.
You don't need Docker Desktop to install Linux distros as your WSL2 systems. For Arch there's https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL and if you want systemd too then use this one instead https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod/ (not specific to just Arch). Also any OCI compliant rootfs tarball goes really, you can use Docker or Podman to export images as tarballs & import them as WSL distros and vice versa. Just telling in case all you want is a distro and not a container engine like Docker running.

How to install robo3t on Ubuntu WSL, Windows 11
You can install the snap version if you have snap running (duh) so, I recommend you to either add systemd to your Ubuntu or make a new Ubuntu installation, both with this one: https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod/.

Install minikube with podman and CRI-O on wsl2 / Windows 11
I used Distrod tool to install WSL that has extra features like systemd, auto-start and port forwarding ability.
-
Now you can even replace systemd with Emacs
https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod I use this at work with Gentoo and it's worked fine.
-
Download size.
I think you might be able to start with an even more minimal rootfs than that one if you used Distrod (plus you'd end up with a WSL2 Ubuntu distro that has systemd working (then also use a custom kernel like this or this for snapd, apparmor etc support - their latest versions are 11.7 and 12.4 MB each).
-
can't run docker inside wsl2
Also if you want to give installing systemd on a WSL2 distro a try then the easiest and most trouble-free solution to that that I've seen so far is Distrod (I even use it to install new WSL2 distros that have systemd as it pulls the distro rootfs from opencontainers.org) so give that a try as well.
