How to install WSL without admin right?
Are you a developer? The way I managed to get WSL was when an IT support person updated my Docker Desktop and enabled the WSL 2 backend. Unfortunately installing a distro didn't work but I managed to work around that using LxRunOffline. However now I can install any distro using "wsl --install".

WSL stopped booting after Windows update
You could run wsl --export to backup your Ubuntu env. Or there's a tool called lxrunoffline that could do the same thing too.

are there any ADMIN ui for wsl?
I recommend the LxRunOffline tool. DDoSolitary/LxRunOffline: A full-featured utility for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) (github.com)

The script will download the LxRunOffline distro manager to bootstrap the installation. Install times will vary depending on system performance and presence of antivirus software. A fast system with broadband Internet can complete the install in under 10 minutes and most machines will complete within 20 minutes.

What are some good LTS distros that are preferably not Debian based
FYI: I/O is indeed a limiting factor but apt is not very efficient and updates can get a lot faster with wrappers like apt-fast which download and process in parallel.

Anyone facing the download speed of all packages from terminal is slow?
If picking another mirror doesn't speed it up, I can highly recommend apt-fast.

feels like an eternity
Use apt-fast

Holy crap that's fast
just as a tip: if your distro uses apt just install apt-fast (its a wrapper script for apt/ apt-get which adds multithreading, etc)
- faster apt.

DMG for Linux
You can also increase the download speed by downloading multiple packages at the same time. apt does not have support for this built-in but there is a wrapper called apt-fast that does this: https://github.com/ilikenwf/apt-fast
