so, what's the best way to get alpine on WSL2 these days? asking for myself, who wants something a little more pleasant than an ssh session on their token windows machine
@FritzAdalis because i like cursed things
@ariadne @FritzAdalis
Then use the one I put into the windows store:

But nowerdays you can as well just import a tar.gz directly...
@ariadne @FritzAdalis
Admittedly it currently installs 3.15, but you can update via apk as usual.
Need to ship an update to the app so that new installs get 3.16.1 directly...
does that install WSL2 or just WSL1 tho
@ariadne @FritzAdalis
You can convert it to either. Run `wsl --list --verbose` to check what version it is currently in and use `wsl --set-version Alpine <Version>` to change it.
@ariadne probably install the unofficial version off the Windows Store, though it does link to its source, so building it yourself may be possible and better
@ariadne I just imported the x86_64 minirootfs as a custom distro: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/use-custom-distro#import-the-tar-file-into-wsl
@ariadne Why not just hyperv?
