Manual installation links for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 are wrong #1741

Closed alessiot89 closed 1 year ago

alessiot89 commented 1 year ago

Documentation Issue

The download links for x64 version of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and the link for 22.04 LTS are wrong: they will point to an appx bundle of auto-upgradeable version (20.04 it will upgrade through store to last version, so far 22.04 and I guess the 22.04 to a next one when available) while it is supposed to be just the non-auto-upgrade versions.

Correct download link for x64 version is this instead (guessed from ARM64 download) https://wsldownload.azureedge.net/Ubuntu_2004.2020.424.0_x64.appx

Cannot get the correct download links for x64 and ARM64 of 22.04 LTS.

Suggested Improvements

Provides non-auto ugprade installation links for for 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS for both x64 and ARM64, in non-auto-ugpradable versions (for auto-upgrade version there is already the generic "ubuntu" version in both direct download and MS store).

I just saw the correct and direct download links can be obtained reading this json https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/distributions/DistributionInfo.json

Yes! We should examine replacing that list with the DistributionInfo.json page
