Problem

There are not instruction on how to install Debian with bb-imager. New people don't know that WSL2 even exists.

Solution

Run these commands and instruction to:

wsl --install
wsl --install -d ubuntu

2. Install Ubuntu desktop

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt full-upgradeub
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --fix-missing
sudo apt --fix-broken install

3. Open Windows terminal in Admin mode and shutdown WSL.

wsl --shutdown

4. Restart Ubuntu console and install x11 (in Windows Terminal click the plus button then Ubuntu):

sudo apt install x11-apps -y
sudo apt install nautilus -apps -y

4.A. (Optional) Install standard apps.

sudo snap install gnome-text-editor
sudo snap install gimp
sudo snap install vlc

4.B (Optional) Install Chrome:

cd /tmp
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install --fix-missing ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
