That's true indeed, you need to install it separately. And after installing WSL, you need to install a Linux distro. Ubuntu 24.04LTS should be installable from the M$ store (I have only used 22.04).

I had to switch to Windows after 8 years of macOS usage when switching employers. Being allowed to use WSL was a godsend for my sanity I must say. But I can see how people who don't understand (or know about) WSL are eager to disable it with policies...
