 docs: Update root md files after docs merge (#515) 
Updates README and CONTRIBUTING files to account for:

* latest docs now being found in UP4W repo
* new distro format becoming available (we were linking to an archived
distro builder repo)

Public docs are no longer consuming the CONTRIBUTING.md file, so the
changes only affect the files in this repo.

  • Manage Docker containers with improved performance and startup times
  • Leverage GPU acceleration for AI/ML workloads with NVIDIA CUDA
  • A consistent development to deployment workflow when using Ubuntu in the cloud
  • 5 years of security patching with Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) releases

For more information about Ubuntu WSL and how Canonical supports developers please visit:

Note

The documentation for Ubuntu on WSL can be found at https://documentation.ubuntu.com/wsl/. The source for that documentation can be found in the Ubuntu Pro for WSL repo. If you are interested in contributing to the documentation, please submit your Issues and Pull Requests there.

This repository

This repository contains code relevant to the Ubuntu distribution on WSL. It builds on top of Microsoft's distro launcher reference implementation.

Tip

There is a newer method for creating the Ubuntu on WSL distro. We will be updating the Ubuntu on WSL documentation as this method is adopted. Refer to this blog about installing Ubuntu with the new distribution format.

Issues & Contact

You are welcome to create a new issue on this repository if you find bugs you believe may be particular to Ubuntu running on WSL.

Feel free to otherwise head over to Microsoft's WSL page on GitHub if your report is not specific to Ubuntu but rather more general to WSL.

We also have a page on Launchpad; we check it less often but you may find part of the community there. Ubuntu's Discourse page has news and interesting discussions about Ubuntu on WSL.
