+## wsl-reset
+
+A troubleshooting utility that resets WSL to various degrees.
+
+`wsl-reset --reset` - shuts down WSL, resets the WSL service, and installs any WSL updates, if available
+`wsl-reset --hard-reset` - shuts down WSL, stops the WSL service, uninstalls WSL, and re-installs WSL
+`wsl-reset --destrutive-reset` - shuts down WSL, restarts the WSL service, **unregisters all WSL distros**, stops the WSL service, uninstalls WSL, and re-installs WSL
+
+## sysdistrowt
+
+Adds the WSL System Distro (CBL-Mariner) to the Windows Terminal and/or Windows Terminal Preview profiles, for easier debugging.
