4.) How does the WSL work under Windows 11 and Windows 10, what must be observed!


You need a 64-bit version of Windows 10, Windows 11 does not have a 32-bit version anyway, so it cannot be the case here!   

To use WSL, you need to install a Linux distribution. By default, WSL installs Ubuntu. This gives you access to a full Ubuntu command line environment using the bash shell or any other command line shell of your choice.
 
You can also access your Linux shell environments through the Windows Terminal app included with Windows 11.

You can activate the Windows subsystem for Linux on all editions of Windows 11, even on Windows 11 Home. You can also install the so-called WSL under Windows 10. When you enable the feature, Windows 11 downloads an MS-made Linux kernel that runs in the background.

The practical thing is that Windows Update keeps the kernel up to date. You can also use your own custom Linux kernel if you'd like.
