As the article states, SUSE and Redhat will be available in a week or two. WSL should be able to support other distros or self-built Linux too, although I wouldn't know how to go about that.

I've been using Arch as my WSL image for about a year I think.

I used this tool to get it going : https://github.com/RoliSoft/WSL-Distribution-Switcher
