There are a lot of misleading / outdated instructions out there. I’ve created a simple installer that Just Works.
In short: httsp://webinstall.dev/wsl

If ever the terminal appears to freeze, just hit enter.

1. System Updates
2. (optional-ish) Install Windows Terminal from Microsoft Store
3. One-line Installer: https://webinstall.dev/wsl
4. Restart
5. Run Installer Again: https://webinstall.dev/wsl
6. Open Ubuntu for the first time

Ubuntu WILL NOT show up in Windows SEARCH until it has EXITED CLEANLY!!
