the ubuntu images for sure ask you to set credentials, and honestly i don't think it makes sense to use any other image for wsl. you are no doubt correct that the install has gotten hosed up in some way though, ive gotten wsl2 vm's into that kind of broken states as well (messing about with things i shouldn't have).

linux is real bad btw. one of the primary ways it is bad is that it is the most boring option. lot of technical details, lot of Very Serious Software, lots of drab and grey design.

hbag posted:this was quite literally the very first thing i did. come on microsoft are extremely dumb and do not know how to distribute software correctly. you can actually install two entirely distinct versions of wsl! isn't that great? i don't mean being able to switch between wsl1 and wsl2, i mean you can have the Microsoft Store version installed alongside the...windows? version? this is usually what kills lxss in my experience. i've never fixed it properly because i just reinstall windows whenever the smallest problem occurs. only ever install wsl with wsl.exe --install is the moral of the story.

yeah it's ridiculous. wsl is the best thing microsoft have ever produced (alongside windows terminal, which honestly owns and i wish i could bring it to linux) but they are simultaneously unable to figure out how to distribute it in such a way that doesn't completely gently caress your system. microsoft are the only company i can think of that consistently do the best things in the worst possible ways.

hbag posted:funny that it broke after me only installing it with wsl.exe --install then do you have ubuntu (or debian, or any of the distros) installed from the windows store? iirc that installs a completely separate wsl from the system one, but all of the components are named the same so it gets hosed up pretty easily plus updating wsl via wsl.exe doesn't update the windows store version. so you can have two conflicting wsl installs with different versions of the hypervisor lol you can clean all that poo poo up manually but just reinstall windows imo

Shouldn't be too bad to get everything I actually use set back up, but leaner i recommend it. Manjaro is dangerous because they mix repos, so you have a weird crossing of stuff from the real Arch repos + whatever Manjaro does. then there's the scummy poo poo they do like DDoSing the AUR by 'accident' and forgetting to renew SSL certs and telling their users to just change their computer's clock to get around it. you can build something better with just arch

I was looking into putting Linux on a laptop that is slightly too old to run win 11. but all the results about running a good Linux on it was like opening a portal back to 2010 or something “well, it has a dual gpu so you’ll need bumblebee. but that doesn’t work sometimes, so the battery life blows” “great hardware support. to-do: make sleep, webcam, Bluetooth, WiFi, and audio work” Linux never changes
