Yes, as I mentioned, they made it easier only very recently. 09/27/2021, actually. And you still have to open cmd.exe or powershell with "run as admin". It is not as easy as installing, say, GitBash.

Also, some things are still under documented, or hard to do. Like that "wslg.exe" can be used to make Windows shortcuts to launch graphical programs. Or how to make various systemd things work (pid 1 is not systemd), and so on. Or how to add all the Windows fonts to the Linux distro. I'm saying they will likely improve all this over time.
