How to rename WSL Distro on Windows
To rename WSL Distros on Windows follow the steps:
1. Stop all instances of WSL
On PowerShell run the command: wsl --shutdown
2. Open Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss
Each subfolder on Lxss represents a distro
3. Locate and rename the distro you want
Inside each distro folder you have the DistributionName, change it and click ok
