Hi All,
I want to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Windows Server 2019. I am following the MS article linked below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#downloading-distributions
The article mentions performing the steps listed, but the distribution I downloaded has the extension .AppxBundle.
Rename-Item .\Ubuntu.appx .\Ubuntu.zip
Expand-Archive .\Ubuntu.zip .\Ubuntu
Add-AppxPackage .\app_name.appx
Can someone guide me on how to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Windows Server 2019?
