Originally created by @rubyFeedback on GitHub (Sep 2, 2020).

I was finally able to install Windows Terminal; had to use the powershell command for this. I just mention this because in my last issue request I asked for a short comment how to install these .msiaxbunddle thingies. Anyway.

I am testing WSL1 a lot and I would like to start it from Windows Terminal (this one is ubuntu from the store).

Would it be possible to add, onto the main README.md, a short link towards this? Something like:

"Making use of Windows Terminal with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)" or something like that?

Just a quick link. This would help save me googling for random documents which can be quite tedious.

I'd even suggest to make it easily possible to start the WSL from within Windows Terminal, but I'd just
need documentation right now. I look more on the main README as the entry point; it's ok to use
external links to point to other documentation, just a few helpful points for the main README would
be nice here. Thanks for reading this issue request; please feel free to close it at any moment in time.
