Sounds great! But what if you want to invoke the default distribution without login mode? I'd rather decouple the two issues. Will take a look.

Bit confused I am; if you want to make login mode the default, you wouldn't need a `-l` option or argv[0] detection, right?

@rprichard, I'm trying to build wsltty with the latest commit from branch login-shell, but it doesn't work as you also modified the backend. Can you make a release please?

Or let's check this first: I'm frequently getting `wslbridge error: connection broken` with wslbridge-frontend from the login-shell branch. Could be that it happens only because the backend does not match...
