A terminal UI to manage Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions.
wslm is a single self-contained terminal UI (Rust + ratatui) to manage WSL distributions on
Windows from one screen: list distros with state, version and on-disk size; start/stop them;
open shells inline or in a new Windows Terminal tab; watch live WSL VM memory/CPU gauges with
sparklines; do managed export/import (tar/vhdx); install distros from the online catalog; and
edit .wslconfig / wsl.conf. State detection is locale-independent and there is no telemetry.
