Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Are there any simple instructions. I swear everything is seen just goes over my head.

    WSL is really easy to setup by now. In the beginning it was really terrible.

    Now all you need to do (if you are fine with Ubuntu) is open CMD with admin rights and input wsl --install.

    If you want another distro, it's wsl -l -o to check the available distros and wsl --install -d to install it.

    More documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
