Microsoft announced that Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) είναι πλέον διαθέσιμο για χρήστες Windows 10 και 11 μόνο από το Microsoft Store.
It appears that Microsoft is discontinuing the delivery of WSL as an optional component of the Windows operating system. Making it available through the Microsoft Store will make it faster to download updates.
The Store version is now the default for users who will run the wsl –install command, while existing users can easily upgrade their current WSL by running wsl –update.
On Craig Loewen announced, Programs Managers των Windows, ο οποίος εξηγεί ότι για να αποκτήσουν την έκδοση του Store, οι χρήστες Windows 10 και Windows 11 πρέπει να έχουν τις κατάλληλες εκδόσεις για τα συστήματά τους. Συγκεκριμένα, τα Windows 10 απαιτούν την έκδοση 21H1, 21H2 ή 22H2, ενώ τα Windows 11 χρειάζονται την 21H2 ή νεότερη με όλες τις updates November.
In addition to making the Store version available for both Windows 11 and Windows 10, users of the latter operating system can now access GUI Linux apps that were only available before. The default WSL Store version also comes with a bunch of new features and offers hundreds of bug fixes and improvements.
You can find detailed instructions for it installation and launching Linux GUI applications on official WSLg GitHub page.
