Launching Oracle Linux 8.10...
Hmm …
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
You can resolve this by installing a distribution with the instructions below:
Still with administrator privileges:
C:\WINDOWS\system32> cp C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\3810OracleAmericaInc.OracleLinux8.10_8.10.0.0_x64__dm28ctvqnhe9g\install.tar.gz C:\Users\rene\wsl\distros\
Now, as myself, which finally installs the required version.
C:\Users\rene> wsl --import Oracle.8.10 C:\Users\rene\wsl\distros\Oracle.10.8 .\install.tar.gz

TODO
