If you use Linux on Windows through WSL, you need this tool

WSL Manager is a free and open-source project on GitHub that helps you manage your WSL distros. One of the primary benefits of WSL Manager is its ability to install WSL distros on a secondary drive, unlike the default behavior of installing them on your C drive. This prevents your primary drive from filling up and allows for better organization of your files. It also lets you move existing WSL distros to another drive.



Key Features

  • Install WSL distros to a secondary drive: Avoid filling up your C drive.

  • Move existing distros: Easily relocate your WSL installations.

  • Easy to use: The GUI makes managing WSL distros simple.

  • Free and open-source: Get the core functionality at no cost. (there is a premium version on Microsoft store)

With WSL Manager, you can efficiently manage your WSL distros and have more control over your Windows Subsystem for Linux environment.
