WSL-Setup

Usage

Get Windows Terminal.

1. Install wsl.

   wsl.exe --install Ubuntu-24.04

2. Make a disk partition in Windows to keep Linux in its own separate partition.

3. Export the installed WSL into the new partition.

   Open PowerShell with admin privileges. Replace D:\ with your partition's letter.

   wsl --shutdown
   mkdir D:\wsl_export
   wsl --export Ubuntu-24.04 "D:\wsl_export\ubuntu-ex.tar"
   wsl --unregister Ubuntu-24.04
   wsl --import Ubuntu-24.04 "D:\wsl_export\ubuntu" "D:\wsl_export\ubuntu-ex.tar" --version 2
   wsl --setdefault Ubuntu-24.04

   Make changes to the oh-my-zsh plugins as you see fit. Restart the terminal.

4. Open WSL Ubuntu. Run:

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ss26/wsl-setup/refs/heads/main/init.sh
   chmod +x init.sh
   bash init.sh

5. (For StarShip terminal theme) Make a new directory: mkdir ~/.config and get the Starship config file and add it to this directory.

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ss26/wsl-setup/refs/heads/main/starship.toml
   mv starship.toml ~/.config

6. Finally, restart the terminal.

Thanks to @theRubberDuckiee for the starship.toml file! I modified this for use in Ubuntu.
