By "supported" I mean "available in the Windows Store." I believe that those are submitted by the distro vendors themselves.

And from a lock-in perspective, the userland is all that matters, yeah? If an app runs on Ubuntu, whether it's WSL 2 or in Docker or in a a VM or on bare metal. If it's all the same, then it's not a Microsoft Linux, it's just Ubuntu. Or whatever Linux you want.



If it has to run on Hyper-V, then as far as Microsoft cares it's a Microsoft-extended Linux that they can make money from.
