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/.
-
Cannot install WSL UBUNTU 22 in windows 10
Not sure on the specifics for why it won’t install for you, but I’d recommend trying a tool called distrod regardless. You can get Ubuntu Jammy with it and it makes the distro support systemd.
-
WSL2 with no network connectivity
Install the resolvconf package and write the nameserver etc lines into /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file instead (or depending on your needs, use systemd by using a tool like Distrod and edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf instead).
-
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.

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #2: For a nice, cross-platform GUI app thing for Docker & Podman here's this one: Podman Desktop Companion.

A long-time Windows power user and game developer is looking for a switch to Linux.
Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform, supports Docker too)

About to upgrade my wfh machine. Is moving WSL2 environment as simple as export from old > import on new? Also considering move to docker.
Docker in WSL2 too works but with Podman the environment setup may be a little more flexible depending on what you want to achieve on what distro etc. In any case you can use the cross-platform Podman Desktop Companion app to manage your containers via a GUI.
-
Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?
Both Distrobox and Podman can be installed without root access btw and, here's a neat little GUI for managing Podman & Docker containers: Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform).
-
FYI: Docker is deleting Open Source organisations
No, that's incorrect. Also, there's the unofficial Pods app, and the Podman Desktop Companion.

Windows Docker keeps crashing while running containers
For a GUI to manage your Podman and/or Docker containers, install the Podman Desktop Companion app (yes, it supports both Podman and Docker). They say that the Windows version can be used to manage the containers running in WSL2 but a more sure way would be to pick the Linux app and to install it in the WSL2 distro your containers are installed & running in.

Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
I'm skeptic how long this will last unless they bring out some cutting-edge innovations. I frankly used and loved Docker Desktop for a long time because it was the easiest way to get going and I believe even k8s is included now which is great for hobbyists and those who just want to get things done. But, I've been annoyed by the UX changes and the push to login to docker hub.
While in 2023, there are most certainly great alternatives that are relatively easy to install from the terminal and get going, I guess there's not yet a definitive replacement that comes with the GUI too. Best I can think of is Podman Desktop Companion[1] but not sure how well this works.
