Great!
So now both Ubuntu and openSUSE is officially in the Windows Store.
Now we're just waiting for Red Hat, Fedora and CentOS.

I noticed many days ago because I couldn't get at packages for 15.1.... had to zypper dup to 15.2.... which worked btw.

OpenSUSE (zypper) has a much better track record than Ubuntu (apt) with distro-upgrades. You can also in-place upgrade to Tumbleweed and even rolling back from Tumbleweed to Leap is doable.

For sure. I was pointing out that upgrading an old version "1" style OpenSUSE 15.1 WSL succeeded. It's really a different sort of beast.

Good to know.
Imho that's not a different thing from other distro upgrades (like going from Leap versions or to to Tumbleweed), as with a dup it will have a list of base packages are needed (and will be installed at once, unless you have specifically blacklisted them). It isn't just updating stuff to latest version from repos.
