A full-featured command-line utility for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions. It supports installing arbitrary Linux distros to any directory, moving, duplicating, registering, exporting, and configuring WSL installations.

Use cases

  • install a custom Linux distro into WSL
  • move a WSL installation to another drive
  • duplicate or back up a WSL distro to a tar file
  • run Linux commands in a specific WSL installation
  • configure the default user and environment variables for a WSL distro
  • register a WSL installation directory on a USB stick

When to choose

  • you need to install a Linux distro not available in the Microsoft Store
  • you want to relocate or duplicate WSL installations
  • you need fine-grained control over WSL distro configuration

When to avoid

  • you only need basic WSL distro management available via the built-in wsl command
  • you are not using Windows or WSL
  • you need actively developed features, as the latest release dates to 2022
