The popular open-source operating system Arch Linux has recently entered into a collaboration with Microsoft, following discussions that led to the inclusion of the Arch Linux image in the official distribution list for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
This integration means that users will now be able to seamlessly download, install, and deploy Arch Linux directly via WSL commands. Microsoft has also committed to submitting monthly pull requests to ensure that the Arch Linux image remains up to date.
Since Arch Linux already releases a new ISO image every month, users running Arch Linux on WSL2 will always have access to the latest version without needing to perform complex manual updates.
It is important to note that WSL in this context refers to Windows Subsystem for Linux, and Arch Linux has no plans to support WSL1. Therefore, users must at least be on WSL2 to utilize Arch Linux.
To facilitate this integration, Arch Linux has created a dedicated WSL repository on GitLab, which is isolated from the main release branch. After each major version update, a new WSL-compatible version will be automatically generated, enabling Microsoft to pull the latest image with ease.
Beyond Arch Linux, another widely used Linux distribution, Fedora Linux, is also preparing to join the official WSL distribution list. The Fedora Linux team plans to introduce WSL support with the release of Fedora 42.
Currently, several major Linux distributions are already officially supported on WSL, including but not limited to Ubuntu, Debian, and Kali Linux. With the growing adoption of WSL, the ecosystem is expected to expand further, as more distributions—including Oracle Linux—are preparing to join.
