Description
A alternative way to install the Linux-subsystem (Ubuntu und co.) without Microsoft Store
It would be great if you can install from the powershell or the wsl directy with a line, like
wls install ubuntu1204 or something similar.
The Problem is, you can´t automate the process with the store and is sometimes block from your company.
