    Are you using the right name archjizee? Doing a search for installable distributions using the top command (see image for output), I was able to determine the name of the distribution to be kali-linux. Using this name, I was able to install the distribution using the second command.

wsl --list --online

# Install kali
wsl --install -d kali-linux
