Has anyone ported Clear Linux to Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 yet? I just updated my Windows partition to the Windows Insider preview build, which has WSL 2. There are some major performance improvements - there’s a virtual machine running a modified Linux 4.19, and the distros run on top of that much like a Docker, podman or LXC container would run on a Linux machine.
There’s a Fedora remix, Debian, a few variants of openSUSE and SUSE and a few variants of Ubuntu in the Microsoft Store, but I believe the tools are there if you want to roll your own.
hi everyone, based on the Pengwin experience by the team back in the day, it’s indeed a lot of paperwork IF you intend to sell the app.
Today, if you have a look on the store, there’s people who put both Alpine and Arch as free apps and they don’t seem to have gone any particular difficulties.
The second point, in these forums, Rucadi exported the rootfs (Rootfs for WSL [gitlab]) and it’s possible to load it in WSL1 or 2 with the following command: wsl.exe --import clearlinux c:\mysdistros\clearlinux c:\mydistros\clearlinux.rootfs.tar.gz
right, sorry, might have mentionned that mydistros is a directory that I took as an example.
Could you tell me if it’s created? other else run in powershell (no admin needed):
mkdir c:\mydistros
cp $HOME\Downloads\Clear*.tar* c:\mydistros <- as I don’t know the name of the tar file, please replace the path and the name of the Clearlinux rootfs that you downloaded
