  • Custom WSL Distributions
    3 projects | dev.to | 24 Dec 2020
    For installing the distribution we'll be using WSLDL, start by downloading the latest version of the Launcher.exe executable, rename it to your distribution's name of choice, such as oraclelinux.exe and place your created rootfs.tar.gz file beside it, move them into a directory where you want to install your WSL filesystem, and finish off by running the launcher executable we downloaded and renamed earlier, and.. you're done, the distribution is now installed into WSL and you can configure and setup everything as you need.
