This is repo for unofficial Fedora WSL based on the rootfs extracted from fedora docker image with a few additional packages installed and few configuration changes.

fedora-wsl's Issues

Getting GUI apps to work: Gitkraken

• After installing Gitkraken, there are still missing library that are somehow not marked as dependencies. The GK devs probably expected them to already be there, hence they did not add them as dependencies. I will make a list of what are missing later.
• GK gets stuck on the loading splash screen. I have yet to investigate what happened.

Fedora-WSL can't be found on Microsoft Store

I found the that store page of Fedora-WSL is not available in Microsoft Store. (Don't know if it is just not avaiable in my region)

Update to Fedora 39

Fedora 38

Hi, thanks for maintaining this project :)

Are there any plans for upgrading the base image to Fedora 38 (and subsequent releases, considering the short life span of official Fedora releases)?

User is created even if password creation is failed

An initial user is created even if password creation is failed.

Expected Behaviour - Delete created user and prompt to create a new account

Cracklist warning when setting up password

New password:
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict.pwd.gz: No such file or directory
BAD PASSWORD: The password fails the dictionary check - error loading dictionary

This happened both on my desktop and my laptop, so I think this might be a bug with the WSL distro itself.

Use wsl1 not the wsl2 or you will have error code: 0x80370114

In my case, I use wsl 2 first and I get error code 0x80370114. Then I run this
wsl --set-default-version 1
Finally I can install fedora!
I think this might be helpful for others.
