Popular Linux distro for WSL is almost here, and you can help test it out TODAY

Fedora 42 prerelease build for WSL running inside Windows Terminal. .

A little while ago, the Fedora Project announced plans to release an official image of its distro for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The planned release was to coincide with the next major version, Fedora 42, and that's coming up fast.

Now, though, eager beavers can test it out before release, with February 17 marking the official Fedora test day for its WSL image. Anyone can take part, grabbing the image directly from Fedora, installing it, and playing around with it.
