  <p>Thank you.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I already tried:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>H:\&gt;ubuntu help
  Launches or configures a linux distribution.
  
  Usage:
      &lt;no args&gt;
        - Launches the distro's default behavior. By default, this launches your default shell.
  
      run &lt;command line&gt;
        - Run the given command line in that distro, using the default configuration.
        - Everything after `run ` is passed to the linux LaunchProcess call.
  
      config [setting [value]]
        - Configure certain settings for this distro.
        - Settings are any of the following (by default)
          - `--default-user &lt;username&gt;`: Set the default user for this distro to &lt;username&gt;
  
      clean
        - Uninstalls the distro. The appx remains on your machine. This can be
          useful for "factory resetting" your instance. This removes the linux
          filesystem from the disk, but not the app from your PC, so you don't
          need to redownload the entire tar.gz again.
  
      help
        - Print this usage message.
