Download the zipped Centos file from here
Unzip the file and run CentOS.exe
This will complete the installation.
Again, run the CentOS.exe and you are ready to go

CentOS is a great request! The decision to put CentOS in the Microsoft Store is up to the owners of the distros themselves (RedHat). We have had some discussions with them about adding CentOS and other RedHat distros to the store, and I'll be sure to make sure we represent that there are many folks in our community who would love to see those distros there!

It would be great to be able to use Fedora in wsl2. Fedora is one of the most actively developing distributions.

So is there any point in trying to run CentOS under WSL anymore, is there?
