With all the hype about Win11, it's easy to miss that:
"While these commands are new to Windows 11, they are also available for Windows 10."
It's much easier to install WSL 2, using just a single command -- you used to go through a multi-step process to install WSL 1, then go through more steps to upgrade to version 2. With WSL 2 you can run Linux GUI apps on the same desktop with regular Windows apps -- Windows uses remote desktop to connect to the Linux subsystem.
