See same clarification in WLS Microsoft Docs:

5eb7c1d2e5 Added link to stackoverflow with tag (#859)
Already existing and in use tag `WSL` is somewhat unique so makes a much better search query as @aseering has in mind. Added to number 4 because I feel like its more important than the rest of the things for an end user.
