Documentation Issue

According to page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/basic-commands
the command wsl --list --online
expected : should list available distros online
actual : error message "--list: unrecognized option: online"

The documentation either is incorrect, or describes an option that is not available on all systems/versions of wsl

Suggested Improvements

the documentation should mention restrictions if any, such as

  • commands not available on certain versions of wsl
  • how to check which version of wsl is installed
