[...]The related RFC is now accepted! I'm gonna start the next implementation phases :)Hi everyone, Quick follow up on this thread to tell you that we are now fully done with the WSL image 🥳🎉 The image has now been added to the Microsoft WSL's official distribution manifest [1] and can therefore be installed with a single PowerShell command from a Windows system with WSL 2 installed: `wsl --install archlinux` As a reminder, the image is maintained in the archlinux/archlinux-wsl GitLab repository [2], is now available on mirrors [3] and has a dedicated Arch Wiki page [4]. Thanks to everyone who shared thoughts, showed support or helped with the implementation in any way! [1] https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/pull/12818 [2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archlinux-wsl [3] https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/wsl/ [4] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_on_WSLExcellent work! I've successfully installed this on a Windows machine without issue. Only one small nit: the Arch logo image that's used on install has a white background instead of a transparent one. Functionally I haven't had any issues yet :)
Hey, thanks! :)I updated the logo to one with a transparent background: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archlinux-wsl/-/merge_requests/60 ;)
