Documentation - Using Windows Subsystem for Linux - mentions two Ubuntu versions

[darenm]

The WSL documentation at - Using Windows Subsystem for Linux mentions Ubuntu-18.04 and Ubuntu-20.04 - which is the correct version to use?

If you have another distribution installed make sure that the 18.04 is the default using wslconfig /s "Ubuntu-20.04". You can list your active distributions with wslconfig /l Note that WSL 2 is considerably slower than WSL 1 for the boostrapper scenario. You will need to set your distribution to version 1 using wsl --set-version "Ubuntu-20.04" 1.

Thanks for pointing at the issues. You can use any version of ubuntu, it should not cause much trouble.
