For the file not found error, please check the file path, make sure the file path is correct.
Besides, can you tell us your application version, the VS version, the Linux environments and the relate code, so we can try to reproduce the problem?

Process.start can not directly run a Linux application. It can run wsl and pass the Linux command for wsl to execute.
You could also use a remote shell api like OpenSSL.
