== Managing WSL ==

=== Basic Commands ===
 wsl --list or wsl -l             # Show list of locally available distributions
 wsl -l -o                        # Show list of online available distributions
 wsl -l -v                        # Show running status
 wsl -d <distro>                  # Run specific distribution
 wsl -u <username>                # Run image with specific 
 wsl -u root                      # Run image as root

=== Install ===
 wsl -l -o                        # Lookup available distributions online
 wsl -install <distro_name>       # install distribution
 wsl --set-default <Distribution Name>       # Set default distribution name

=== Uninstall ===
 wsl --unregister <distro>
Hint: This unregisters the distribution from WLS and also removes most of the files from the disk (see disk locations below)

=== Clone Image ===
 wsl --export <distro> <filename.tar.gz>
 wsl --import <new-distro-name> <distrolocation> <filename.tar.gz>

=== Disk Location of Distributions ===
Location of distros is 
 %LOCALAPPDATA%\packages\<subfolder-for-distro>
or
 C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\packages\<subfolder-for-distro>
