Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL

How to get Ubuntu 22.04 tar image to import on my WSL.

[lane-ftw]

wsl –import <Image Name you choose> <Directory to store and run the image> <Directory location of the exported .tar file>
wsl -d <WSL imported image name>
So if I have ubuntu.tar in C:\users\ubuntu.tar and I want to name it new_ubuntu and have it stored in C:\users\new_ubuntu
wsl -import new_ubuntu C:\users\new_ubuntu C:\users\ubuntu.tar

I want 22.04 image(.tar) file locally. When ever I try directly from machine it's re redirecting to MS store.

Oh, if you can download it from the store you can follow this guide.
Otherwise here's the direct downloads.

@Nivethanb start with a Ubuntu cloud image. Current is https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wsl/jammy/current/ubuntu-jammy-wsl-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar.gz

After download use wsl --import to install it. These are Ubuntu images build specifically for WSL.
