    An issue with the default program to open a .rpm file.

    Right, most search results show .rpm as Linux. There's 2 basic flavors of Linux, RPM/Package Manager and DEB/Debian, I have Linux Mint on a computer it is a derivative of Ubuntu and Debian. RPM is from/a derivative of Red Hat Linux. RPM and DEB don't mix.

    Are the .rpm files part of a Linux and Windows dual-boot or Linux in a VM scenario?

    An issue with the default program to open a .rpm file.

    I was installing PPTP for windows 10 and had accidentally selected the .rpm files to be opened by the wrong thing so I can't quite use the .rpm file properly. I reinstall the .rpm but it opens the wrong program still.

    How to install a .deb or rpm package in wsl

    How to create a WSL package?

    Hi,

    I was reading the "readme" at microsoft/WSL-DistroLauncher

    And it said to "reach out" for help with creating a WSL distro.

    I joined (paid) the developer program. I have searched a bit, and I can't find WSL support.

    Please help.

    Thanks!!!

    Peace
    - John
