💻Ubuntu Setup - Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

In this guide, we are going to setup WSL2 for Ubuntu 22.04 on Windows 11.

1. Search on Windows: "Turn Windows Features on or off" and Enable "Windows Subsystem for Linux"

1. Restart your Computer

2. Open Powershell and start installing WSL and Ubuntu Distribution of Choice

wsl --install

To use WSL2 instead of WSL1,

wsl --set-default-version 2

Since I am using Ubuntu 22.04, for WSL, run the following to set up Ubuntu 22.04 in WSL2,

wsl --install Ubuntu-22.04

To set Ubuntu 22.04 as the default distribution for WSL2,

wsl --set-default Ubuntu-22.04
