WSL2 Admin ui for distros and configuration #6645

Open emaayan opened 3 years ago

emaayan commented 3 years ago

it would be very nice to have a admin ui app for WSL2 distros, something that will allow to start/stop/terminate/export/import specific distros, set them as default, configure to start them based on a user etc.. as well as something ui access to wsl global configs (such as mounts)

basically anything that wsl command line allows

Describe alternatives you've considered i've searched for other projects but only found wsl-manager

There is Raft available from the developers in charge of Pengwin. They have a free trial available to test it. It's what you're looking for and is pretty awesome. cc: @crramirez

Note, this would still be a good feature for those unable to install from the MS Store to have some basic UI available.

@WSLUser, we have plans for enterprise versions without MS Store; the improvements in MSIX, WinUI 3, and Reunion are opening ways to do it without so much rework
