Hey, you're looking for a Linux distribution that works well with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and supports Redis. Since Redis isn't natively available on Windows, setting up a Linux environment is a solid approach. Consider distributions like Ubuntu or Debian, which are widely used and have strong community support. WSL 2 makes it easy to run Linux applications alongside Windows, and you can install Redis via package managers. If you're aiming for a more modern setup, Fedora or Arch Linux might also be good options depending on your needs. Let me know if you'd like help choosing specific packages or configurations!

Thanks for the suggestions, I've gathered similar advice from others too, so choosing Ubuntu seems reasonable.

We utilize Ubuntu as our development environment. Running Ubuntu inside WSL offers excellent and comprehensive support.

I suggest choosing a distribution without systemd, such as Alpine Linux.

Most people I've met, just a handful of tech-savvy individuals, rely on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

No WSL distribution relies on systemd because WSL lacks it. Instead, it employs Microsoft’s proprietary initialization system, enabling various Windows-like features.

Systemd would be irrelevant if it weren't an init system.

Yes, you can run `pstree -p` to see the process tree. You can also verify if `systemd` is listed first by checking the output or using commands like `ls /lib/systemd/system`. To confirm the existence of `/run/systemd/system`, use `ls /run/systemd/system` or similar.

It's not about the init system itself. If systemd were just a replacement for SysV init, everything would work properly.
