How to create an appx file for a Porteus install to WSL

The title basically says it all. We download ISOs, how do we convert an ISO file to be an Appx file?

hi Ed_P only snap on ubuntu have something useful for this task but snap need systemd so you have to have an ubuntu system running

Thanks beny. I'm surprised there is no Porteus dir2appx command.

And surprised I can't find documentation on what's in one other than the OS's files themselves. I think there is a files folder but don't know what the format of the lines in it is. There are appx files on Windows' WSL Store, I may have to download one to analyze.

The Appx format is proprietary to Microsoft so I don't think Porteus can have software like this,but you can always hope

I think you're right.

But just saw some useful app links here: video downloaders I wonder if WSL will work with one of them.
