 == Installing WSL ==
-To install WSL, you can simply run the command {{{wsl --install}}} in a PowerShell or Command Prompt window with administrator privileges. This will install the default Linux distribution (usually Ubuntu) and set up WSL 2. This is the preferred version as it provides better performance and compatibility with Linux applications. See the [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install |official WSL installation guide]] for more details. The guide below assumes you're using Ubuntu as your WSL distribution. This is the default, but in case you've installed a different distribution, the command to install Ubuntu is: {{{wsl --install -d Ubuntu}}}.

After the installation a prompt will tell you to setup a local user account.
+> Note: After installation of WSL a reboot might be required.
 I also recommend to install the [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/install |Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store]], which provides a better command line experience than the default console.
