Adding a link with details for post install configuration, I use the Cinnamon Desktop, you may not. Use this tutorial for initial configuration, and install your favorite desktop later, if you choose to do so...

I think AlmaLinux runs CERN

That's pretty impressive! I was just sitting here debating downloading a copy of Alma... I guess I should spend some time researching it first...

AFAIK, the 4 distros of the title are basically thee 4 open-secret distros if you want real "Enterprise-grade" stability. Big bigness use them for bighuge megastuff

"Now Microsoft is introducing a simpler way to package up distros so that they can be easily installed in a WSL 2 guest session. Previously, these had to be placed inside a Microsoft-specific format called a .appxbundle, but no longer. Since WSL version 2.4.4, you can just provide a .tar file and some metadata. (Yes, it does sound a bit like Microsoft has reinvented the tarball. Isn't progress wonderful?)"
