Before anyone says it — I know WSL doesn't really need a GUI. The command line works fine. But I had some time over the Christmas break and wanted to learn Tauri/Rust, so I built one anyway.

What it does:

• Lists your distros with status/memory usage
• Start/stop/terminate with a click
• Export/import distributions
• Browse and install from Linuxcontainers.org or OCI registries
• Rename distros - no export/import needed

What it's not:

• Essential software you can't live without
• A replacement for knowing wsl --help

It's built with Tauri (not Electron) so it's around 4MB, uses the system WebView, and won't eat your RAM.

If anyone's interested:

• Download: Microsoft Store (signed by Microsoft) or GitHub releases (Unsigned as that's expensive)
• Source: github.com/octasoft-ltd/wsl-ui
• Blog series: I've been writing about building it at wsl-ui.octasoft.co.uk/blog if anyone's curious about Tauri/Rust desktop dev

Free, open source, useful sometimes maybe. Happy to answer questions or take feedback (be gentle, it's a side project).
