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)

Why would someone use Windows Subsystem for Linux?

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.

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.
