Installing or sideloading Linux packages on WSL causes a headach, specially with Linux packages format fragmentation. It should support deb, rpm, ar, apk & other packages.
So, why not make WSLToolBox able to Install or sideload Linux packages & choose which distro to install or sideload to?

If I understand correctly. You would like the ability to install an app (deb, rpm, etc...) and select which (clean/existing)? distro you would like to install it?

@muhammadbahaa2001, that's not necessarily a trivial endeavour, unless you solely support the more common distributions, since you would need to access dnf5, zypper or apt directly, rather than merely rpm or dpkg.
