build 20289 still with the same issue
Why isn't the not working WSL2 as part of the Known Issues?

thanks for any answer

LubomirH I believe this issue persists because the product team does not intend to ship WSL in Windows Server.

Although I am able to run the WSL2 in the build 20241 while having the time set back, it doesn't really help much, because of the time difference SSL is broken and thus other things are broken and you can't install any docker container from online.
Mary can you please give us some official statement?
Is there any hope that WSL2 will be fixed in next builds or the rumors are right and WSL2 will not be part of the final WS2022 release?
I would be glad to test and report back, because I like the idea of having both Windows and Linux containers on one host next to each other.
thanks

LubomirH It is my opinion that it is unlikely that WSL will be included in the final Windows Server product as it was was not included in Windows Server 2019. The investigation on this issue is ongoing and I hope to have a more complete answer for you soon. We do recommend upgrading to the latest preview build in order to pick up all the recent fixes and updates.
