Describe the issue
In the page on alternate files, the a small note states
- The OS for “Windows Subsystem for Linux” is reported as “WSL”, even though uname identifies as “Linux”.
- The OS for Linux-like runtimes for Windows (e.g. MinGW, Cygwin) is obtained by running uname -o.
This appears to be outdated, as WSL currently reports GNU/Linux
OS: Windows 11
WSL version 2
Linux distro: Ubuntu 20.04
Inside WSL (Ubuntu 20.04)
$ uname -o
GNU/Linux
$ hostname
<My windows computer hostname>The documentation probably requires update for this newer feature of WSL
What version of yadm are you using? See #429
Sorry, I usually use the search feature, but obviously did not here. My issue appears to be mirroring #429. main problem is using Ubuntu 20.04 rather than 22.04, leading to an outdated yadm, version 2.3.0-2.
> sudo apt-get -s install yadm

yadm is already the newest version (2.3.0-2).
I can either mark this as closed or confirm after doing a 20 --> 22 distro upgrade.
