CachyOS, the Arch-based Linux distribution, can now run in Windows Subsystem for Linux. For now, users must install it from a downloaded image: it has not yet joined WSL’s built-in online distro list, BetaNews reports.
Why it mattersThe manual route requires WSL 2.4.4 or later. CachyOS also detects the processor and switches to optimised packages where supported, though its custom kernel and related kernel features do not carry over to WSL.
Discuss: Would you install a Linux distribution manually for its hardware-tuned packages, or is the built-in WSL list a fair safety and convenience bar?
