Ways to run multiple Linux distributions with WSL
WSL supports running as many different Linux distributions as you would like to install. This can include choosing distributions from the Microsoft Store, importing a custom distribution, or building your own custom distribution.
There are several ways to run your Linux distributions once installed:
From Windows Terminal (Recommended) Using Windows Terminal supports as many command lines as you would like to install and enables you to open them in multiple tabs or window panes and quickly switch between multiple Linux distributions or other command lines (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Azure CLI, etc). You can fully customize your terminal with unique color schemes, font styles, sizes, background images, and custom keyboard shortcuts.

You can directly open your Linux distribution by visiting the Windows Start menu and typing the name of your installed distributions. For example: "Ubuntu". This will open Ubuntu in its own console window.
From PowerShell, you can enter the name of your installed distribution. For example: ubuntu
From PowerShell, you can open your default Linux distribution inside your current command line, by entering: wsl.exe.
From PowerShell, you can use your default Linux distribution inside your current command line, without entering a new one, by entering:wsl [command]. Replacing [command] with a WSL command, such as: wsl -l -v to list installed distributions or wsl pwd to see where the current directory path is mounted in wsl. From PowerShell, the command Get-Date will provide the date from the Windows file system and wsl date will provide the date from the Linux file system.
The method you select should depend on what you're doing. If you've opened a WSL command line within a PowerShell window and want to exit, enter the command: exit.
