suggestion: add supports for wsl texlive environment
Actually, all my work is done within WSL. For commands like LaTeX, I just need to prefix them with 'wsl'. Using Linux package managers for common software is much more convenient. On Windows, maintaining package versions takes a lot of effort. While there are tools for this, they are often unsafe or require too much manual intervention. I strongly suggest adding support for TeX Live running in WSL to the Windows version.

Re: suggestion: add supports for wsl texlive environment
Hi,
welcome to the forum!
You can use a Windows TeX Live within WSL by calling them with the .exe extension, such as "pdflatex.exe filename".
And you can install and use TeX Live completely in WSL using the wsl command before, such as "wsl pdflatex filename".
Looks to me like what you request is already supported.
If you have further suggestions or need a specific feature, you could post an issue to the TeX Live GitHub page or discuss in the TeX Live mailing list, as this is a general LaTeX users' forum here. But of course feel free to talk here as well.
