I'm trying to install genie on Ubuntu WSL 22.10 (kinetic) which is a developer release. I feel like I need genie because I need apps packaged as snaps and not installable via apt (e.g. Multipass) but if I try to install it I get:

tyler@damien-pc:~$ sudo bash -c "wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/wsl-transdebian.gpg https://arkane-systems.github.io/wsl-transdebian/apt/wsl-transdebian.gpg

So I needed to use Jammy Jellyfish to use snaps. But I use Ubuntu 22.10 now (usually when I need to do something in Ubuntu 22.10 that I can not do in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Any plan for kinetic support?

[cerebrate]

The lack of official [repo] support for kinetic doesn't mean it won't work on kinetic; just that my testing time is limited (hence why, for Ubuntu, I only test on the LTS releases) and I haven't tested it on kinetic myself. If you manually modify the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wsl-transdebian.list to use the jammy release, it should work for you on kinetic.

(Should, in this case, meaning "I haven't tested it myself but I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't .")
