Windows Subsystem for Linux

Star

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine, or dualboot setup.

You can:

  • Choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store.
  • Run common command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, or other ELF-64 binaries.
  • Run Bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications including:
    • Tools: vim, emacs, tmux
    • Languages: NodeJS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, C/C++, C# & F#, Rust, Go, etc.
    • Services: SSHD, MySQL, Apache, lighttpd, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.
    • Install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager.
    • Invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell.
    • Invoke GNU/Linux applications on Windows.
      • Source: Microsoft Docs

      Describe the bug
      Awesome job on the script!

      The issue is as follows, when you import another distro in the same folder wsl --import will fail and report:

      ...
The supplied install location is already in use.

      This is after the distro is already unregistered.

      Please add terminal output if possible:
