WSL Distro Manager is a free and open source app that provides a user-friendly graphical interface for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions. With WSL Distro Manager, you can easily install, uninstall, update, backup and restore WSL distros, as well as configure their settings and launch them with a single click. WSL Distro Manager also offers some extra features to enhance your WSL experience, such as sharing Distros between multiple machines, and creating actions to quickly do repetitive tasks. Whether you are a beginner or an expert in WSL, WSL Distro Manager will help you get the most out of it.

  • Manage WSL instances
  • Download and use Docker images as WSL instances - without Docker!
