instruction of WSL 1

[azinsharaf]

I have to use WSL 1 because of using Apple Silicon. I know that WSL 1 support for ArchWSL has been discontinued but there are some workaround provided in the documentation. So my question is when i can't launch the Arch WSL instance (see screenshot below) how i can use pacman and downgrade the packages?!

a more descriptive error in power shell:

@yuk7 do you have any idea about this error? I did some of the workarounds i found like setting the arch as default distro in wsl but no luck.

ArchWSL is based on Arch Linux not Arch Linux ARM.
This is not supporting Apple Silicon(ARM64).
This only supports x86_64 architecture. (Intel/AMD/VIA etc.)
