You will find Void Linux here for WSL - https://github.com/am11/VoidWSL/releases/tag/23080500

About Void Linux - Void is a general purpose operating system, based
on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly
install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary
packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source
packages collection. https://voidlinux.org

About KDE plasma: The Plasma Launcher lets you quickly and easily launch
applications, but it can do much more -- convenient tasks like bookmarking
applications, searching for documents as you type, or navigating to common
places help you get straight to the point. With a history of recently started
programs and opened files, you can return to where you left off. 
It even remembers previously entered search terms so you don't have to.

-------------------------------------------

1. optional - update xbps mirrors
cp /usr/share/xbps.d/*-repository-*.conf /etc/xbps.d/

-------------------------------------------

2. Install this one by one

xbps-install -Su xbps
xbps-install -u
xbps-install base-system
xbps-remove base-voidstrap
xbps-reconfigure -fa

-------------------------------------------

3. install some programs: xbps-install sudo nano bash git wget curl

-------------------------------------------

4. Setup User

useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash olle
passwd olle

-------------------------------------------

5. Default user - Paste this under

echo -e "[user]\ndefault=olle" > /etc/wsl.conf

Check name on more time: sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf

Look like this

[user]
default=olle

-------------------------------------------

6. Grant sudo

sed -i 's/# %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL/%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL/' /etc/sudoers

-------------------------------------------

Reboot

------------------------------------------

Update repos

7. sudo xbps-install -Suv

------------------------------------------

8. Time to install KDE - PLASMA

Make a directory for your git source:
mkdir -p ~/.local/src

cd to said directory and clone:

cd ~/.local/src
git clone https://gitlab.com/Matthew-Tate-Scarbrough/void-script-for-plasma.git

cd to the local repository, give the script execution permissions, and execute it:

cd void-script-for-plasma
chmod +x kde_full_apps.sh
./kde_full_apps.sh

After this you should enable bluetoothd, NetworkManager, and sddm and you may wish to manually
reboot. You may want to remove dhcpcd. If you get an error move one......

sudo sv down dhcpcd && sudo rm -f /var/service/dhcpcd
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/{bluetoothd,NetworkManager,sddm} /var/service/

------------------------------------------

9. Copy this and paste in terminal: sudo nano ~/.wsl_x11_env

Then add this script to terminal

----------------------------------------------------------

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu
export DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu
export GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu

export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-

export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
export XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
export GDK_BACKEND=x11

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

---------------------------------------------------------

10. Reboot...

---------------------------------------------------------

11. Start up GWSL and Config and Reboot - start then from GWSL SHELL
