Windows Subsystem for Linux

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine, or dualboot setup.

You can:

Choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store.

Run common command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, or other ELF-64 binaries.

Run Bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications including:

Tools: vim, emacs, tmux

Languages: NodeJS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, C/C++, C# & F#, Rust, Go, etc.

Services: SSHD, MySQL, Apache, lighttpd, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.

Install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager.

Invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell.

Invoke GNU/Linux applications on Windows.

I've already heard opinions like: "I can not use this on the enterpise." or "This other sudo is just a few lines RunAs script that I can audit myself." (Sure, but building a feature-rich sudo takes far more lines than that.) and the next one probably will be: "I won't run as administrator something from a nobody on the internet."

This is a trust problem. And I cannot create trust by myself.

I have created a dracula theme for this awesome terminal:

dracula.zip

Is there a way to push it into the repo?

xplr is getting stable. Let's start the exticing stuff... Intensive Documention.

Thanks to Brodie for the push.

Describe the bug
Awesome job on the script!

The issue is as follows, when you import another distro in the same folder wsl --import will fail and report:

...
The supplied install location is already in use.

This is after the distro is already unregistered.

Please add terminal output if possible:
