Does anyone else find it totally confusing that they released WSL 2 around Windows 11, and now they call this release 2.0.0? Are they going to release version 2.0.0.0 next year? When I first started seeing articles this week on hacker news, I thought they were just old. Anyways, I love WSL! Thanks for the update.

If anyone is curious like me. Apparently the original version wasn't released on the Microsoft Store and WSL2 was version 1.0.0 on the Microsoft Store, so apparently they've switched to using Microsoft Store Versions even although it's super confusing.
