A curated awesome list of resources for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), covering distributions, tools, terminals, X servers, and guides for development on WSL. It serves as a reference catalog rather than software itself.

Use cases

  • find linux distributions that run on wsl
  • learn how to set up wsl2 on windows 10
  • discover tools for managing wsl installations
  • run gui linux apps on windows
  • set up web development environment on wsl
  • use cuda gpu development inside wsl
  • enable systemd in wsl

When to choose

  • you are starting with WSL and want a comprehensive curated resource list
  • you want to compare WSL distributions or find unofficial ones
  • you need pointers to WSL utilities, terminals, and X servers

When to avoid

  • you need actual WSL software rather than links to it
  • you need documentation for Linux systems outside of WSL
  • you want a maintained tool rather than a reference list
