Hyper can't handle WSL at all on Windows 10

• Your Hyper.app version is 3.1.2. Please verify your using the latest Hyper.app version
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

---

• Any relevant information from devtools? (CMD+OPTION+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):

N/A

• Is the issue reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app?

Yes

Issue

Latest Windows 10. WSL installed and configured with Fedora Remix, or Ubuntu (Doesn’t matter). Configure Hyper to run WSL. No matter what I choose for the “Shell:” field in the config, it won’t work. Yes, I saved the file. No, I am not getting any error messages, but all the time, Hyper only knows to open CMD and NOTHING else. My Windows “Users” folder is located on a different partition (not C:), if this helps.

• Hyper version: undefined “3.1.2”
• OS ARCH VERSION: win32 x64 10.0.19043
• Electron: 13.1.7 LANG: undefined

You’re welcome. To be able to use wsl.exe directly, I think you need to set the default distro.

Use shellArgs: ["-d", "fedoraremix"]
