Using the Correct Version of Windows Subsystem for Linux

I have been using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for a number of years and just assumed that I was using WSL 2. A quick check told me that I was definitely using WSL 2. Note: I am using Powershell to check the version of WSL I have installed. wsl --status Returned. Default Distribution: Ubuntu-20.04 Default Version: 2 Windows Subsystem for Linux was last updated on 3/11/2021

Changing Default Colours in Windows WSL Linux

I am using the bash shell in Windows WSL Linux. Currently I am using the Ubuntu 20.04, Debian and OpenSuse distributions. The problem I have is that the default colour scheme has an ugly green background colour with blue text This is a really disconcerting colour scheme! I looked around for an alternative colour scheme to use and found that I could run a command to change the colours manually but each time I opened the terminal I would have to run the command again.
