Not to ambush you into tech support, but I decided to take your advice and try that, but I'm instantly stopped and trying to google the answer for myself is just leading to vague powershell language and I'm fully unfamiliar with powershell. I installed WSL and Ubuntu, but when I attempt to open Ubuntu I'm getting:
"Installing, this may take a few minutes... WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80004002 Error: 0x80004002 No such interface supported"
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The site I'm following (your link) doesn't mention this error or how to overcome it, unless I'm just to dumb to decipher it.
If you're running Windows 10/11 Home Edition you may have to also enable the following windows features as well:
I think this solved it! I got the installing message when I opened Ubuntu! ๐
If you've got a spare USB stick laying around then you could install Ventoy on it (https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) and run Linux in a live environment. Just (1) install Ventoy on the USB (this will wipe it, btw) (2) download any live Linux ISO (Mint has one of these) and put it on the USB (3) change your BIOS boot order to USB first (4) reboot and select the Linux you want to test drive from the Ventoy menu. (5) When you're done, just shut down, unplug USB and reboot normally.
