I was amazed to find out that topgrade updates WSL on Windows as long as the distro has it installed but it only does that for the one that is set as default since it runs the wsl command without additional distro parameters.
From what I've seen in the source code the command
wsl bash -c exec topgrade
or something along those lines is executed after checking wsl and probing for topgrade.
One could imagine running a
wsl --list
first and piping this into a loop iterating over all found distros (~foreach Distro in pseudo-code) executing the step commands with a
wsl -d <DISTRONAME>
prefix.
Don't know if this would be the desired behavior for everyone but as someone who has quite a few distros installed on WSL it would be quite useful to me at least as an option.
