I meant that I find the concept of WSL unappealing and therefore never installed it (I've been dual-booting) and instead when I use Windows I use cross-platform native executables to fulfill my needs. Another reason is I don't own the windows machines I use (they are school computers) so I can't access WSL since it's not installed or available.
WSL2 is great. I don’t do GUI with it, but at least Ubuntu /feels/ native. Do I prefer a virtual machine? Yes. Do I prefer native? Yes.
I don’t have access to dual boot my work computer, so it works.
On my personal computer, I run a windows VM because I see no reason to dual boot. I don’t use windows that much.
This reddit thread explains why I can't do what you did https://old.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/zyq0cd/how_to_install_wsl_without_admin_right/
You can’t enable the service?
Part of what they are saying too is that they disabled the store but you can manually install a distro
