I have Ubuntu running on my windows 10 box. I'm trying to update openssl to latest. (specifically I need to install 1.1.1m)
This is what I've tried so far:

But before I dive in, I was wondering if there's another way to do this / if this is the way to go for Windows subsystems.
Please and thanks.
Edit 1
Related to this question would be how I update Ubuntu itself?
I tried this:
admin@mymachine:/mnt/c/Users/me$ do-release-upgradeChecking for a new Ubuntu releaseThere is no development version of an LTS available.To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development releaseset Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.But it's not clear to me what the difference is between development version and non-LTS development version. Googling but if you have any tips on this approach please feel free to comment.
Thanks!
