Thanks. My more recent attempts seemed to be leaning towards WSL 2, though the other looked like a much simpler approach.  I hope I don’t have a dozen copies of "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS” cluttering together …

Don’t use wsl 1 but use 2 if you can help it.

I got a Windows 10 laptop to mesh with some (ech!) Microsoft in a project.

I’m learning very slowly, since (a) I retired from software in 2013 and (b) have been in recovery since then and (c) I really never stepped outside Linux except for company email.

So of course I’ll make Linux available on that computer if I can.

But I’m stuck.

Anyone know the steps?

  I selected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and selected WSL 1.

  I got a message saying it was installed, but I can’t find a way to start it up.

  I can’t find any control panel for it.

Any idea how to do this?

:)

Thanks,
