New Fedora Remix for WSL 31.4.1 released with a new upgrade script

We released a new version of Fedora Remix for WSL, and these are the improvements:

  • Now dbus-daemon is automatically launched if it is installed. Applications like Terminator or MATE desktop won’t need further configuration besides installing the package.

  • A problem was fixed when the Windows home folder is a shared network drive.

  • WSLU was upgraded to 3.0 giving many improvements and a fix in shortcut generation command wslusc.

  • A new upgrade.sh is included to ease the upgrade process.

Existing users can update immediately by running:

$ curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/master/linux_files/upgrade.sh" | bash

After that, you only need to run

$ upgrade.sh 

each time that you want to keep your distro up to date.

Also, if you find an issue with dnf try first running this:

$ upgrade.sh

Thank you to all the contributors and issue reporters that helped in shaping this new version.
