Quick answer: wsl --export Ubuntu C:\WSL-Backups\ubuntu-backup.tar creates a full snapshot of your WSL2 distribution — every file, package, SSH key, and config. A minimal Ubuntu with development tools exports to 500 MB–1 GB in 1–5 minutes. Restore with wsl --import Ubuntu C:\WSL\Ubuntu C:\WSL-Backups\ubuntu-backup.tar. After any import, WSL2 defaults to logging in as root — fix […]

Quick answer: On Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 with ext4 or XFS, create an 8 GB swap file in 5 commands: dd to allocate, chmod 600, mkswap, swapon, then add one line to /etc/fstab to survive reboots. On ZFS (OpenZFS 2.1+), create a dedicated zvol with primarycache=metadata and logbias=throughput — without these two parameters, heavy swap activity evicts […]

Quick answer: The fastest WSL file transfer method depends on what you are moving — File Explorer works for one-off files, cp for single copies, rsync -avP for directories (resumes interrupted transfers, skips unchanged files), and tar -czf for large archives going to Windows. Cross-filesystem transfers between /mnt/c/ and /home/ run at 200–500 MB/s on […]
