WSL discussion space?

Where can I find a discussion space for WSL2?

    Enable WSL and Virtual Machine Platform directly in Windows Features, then install Linux distributions like Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store.

      Really? I usually do it all from PowerShell.

      Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature –Online –FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
      wsl --update
      wsl --list --online
      wsl --install <name>

      There will be a reboot or two in there, but that's it.

      NOW... It looks like the OP was not asking how to install it, but rather he was looking to discuss it. As his question is nearly two years old, I doubt he is still looking... but if he is, let's talk!
