MX developers
Any chance we can get something that can be used with WSL 2? Personally, I prefer to use MX on everything I can. WSL-DistroLauncher/README.md at master · microsoft/WSL-DistroLauncher · GitHub

Gentoo on WSL? Sure!
if you want to fancy it up with icons/title like the store distros, its not too bad to tweak the reference launcher, and feed it a stage 3 ( recompressed to .tar.gz since last time I checked last year, it didn't support .tar.xz)

You can technically run any arbitrary distribution as WSL2, it's just not as simple as installing from an ISO. https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL-DistroLauncher

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.

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).
- A friend recommended WSL to me (based on my true experience)
-
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).
