I simply opened the power shell on my windows computer and gave the command wsl --install.

    if you have windows with 4gb of ram... better backup your files, ditch windows and install linux as your native OS

    Lol.

    As someone who uses both extensively, and dependent on OneNote, even I wholly agree.

    OP would be better off running Linux and replacing Windows dependencies with Linux equivalents.

    Uggh, Windows on 4GB - even XP would struggle with that.

    It's more work but you could still do HyperV and Linux but not the full Ubuntu Desktop. You could download a 1GB ram distro like Lubuntu onto a USB stick and install it under HyperV. And equivalent to wsl which gives you a Linux command line would be Ubuntu server headless which needs only 512MB.

    But yeah wsl is easier.
