[Feature Request] WSL Support

yodaluca23 opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

I know this would be a really big thing and may take a while to implement but if it would become compatible with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) that would be awesome or if you could make a separate repository or something, but please make this somehow. Make it just like this accept for any .deb file and use the WSL.

@yodaluca23 Sounds a little out of scope at the moment, but I am not excluding expanding the app's functionality.

Are all (official) WSL distros Debian based?

You can get a list of all the official ones available to download by doing

wsl --list --online

In command prompt, I'm pretty sure they are all Debian based but not positive.

There's also SUSE and RHEL in the official repo list. However, WSL is not limited to the distros available in store...

I am wondering why you don't use the official package managers along with wslg or any other X if you don't want to use shell based commands. This would be a native solution with access to the dedicated repos.
