Here's my setup:
PS C:\Users\goodgra01> wsl --version
WSL version: 2.4.11.0
Kernel version: 5.15.167.4-1
WSLg version: 1.0.65
MSRDC version: 1.2.5716
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.22631.4751

My system is actually Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2, OS Build 22631.4751. That presumably matches the info above, even though it says Win 10.0.xxx.


The installation instructions didn't work for me, letting me know I needed to use the "--name" option:

PS C:\Users\goodgra01> wsl --install --from-file C:\Users\goodgra01\Downloads\Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso
Installing: C:\Users\goodgra01\Downloads\Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso
This distribution doesn't contain a default name. Use --name to chose the distribution name.

Easy enough to fix:
PS C:\Users\goodgra01> wsl --install --from-file C:\Users\goodgra01\Downloads\Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso  --name Fedora
Installing: C:\Users\goodgra01\Downloads\Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso
Distribution successfully installed. It can be launched via 'wsl.exe -d Fedora'

Starting Fedora on WSL errors out, though:

I do currently have Ubuntu installed as well in WSL:
PS C:\Users\goodgra01> wsl --list
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu (Default)
Fedora

Reproducible: Always
