tar: option requires an argument -- 'f'
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

What argument, where?

By the way I smoke and drink coffee

and I need help as mentioned of these:

mv xz tar bz2

there will be more..

"perl" is what we need mostly I guess but there will be only code and some usage of commands I guess as what I have seen so far.

bzip2: I won't write compressed data to a terminal.
bzip2: For help, type: `bzip2 --help'.

why it doesn't give me access not to install or write compressed data to a terminal because I use terminal and I installed those commands:

something tells me that somewhere I make a little mistake but I do not see it I will review all I have sent.

and those are the commands:

command 'hot' from deb hopenpgp-tools (0.22-2build2)
command 'net' from deb samba-common-bin (2:4.13.17~dfsg-0ubuntu1.20.04.5)
command 'nft' from deb nftables (0.9.3-2)
command 'nop' from deb graphviz (2.42.2-3build2)
command 'dot' from deb graphviz (2.42.2-3build2)
command 'nut' from deb nutsqlite (2.0.6-1)
command 'note' from deb note (1.3.26-3)
command 'nox' from deb nox (2019.5.30-2)
command 'jot' from deb athena-jot (9.0-7)

Personally I would stick to the WSL2 kernels and not try to manually install a mainline kernel from scratch especially with your skill level (no offense). The latest WSL2 kernel I believe is 5.15 something. Try the command

wsl --update

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsl...kernel.mirror/

https://brb.nci.nih.gov/seqtools/installUbuntu.html

I am now installing Oracle VM Virtual box

I use VirtualBox and it is easy enough to setup. You can update the kernel using Ubuntu repositories which are already configured to run on Ubuntu unlike a mainline kernel from kernel.org.

tar takes the filename (whatever.tar) as the last argument. Its right there, in tar --help:

Just be old convention, you don't need the minus sign.

tar (child): Cannot connect to E: resolve failed

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 128
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What did you really type? Which distro, including version, is that on?

Did you install Virtualbox yet and a guest OS?

The correct syntax assuming your in the directory where the xz file is located.
tar xvf linux-6.2.xz

It's on a wsl2 Ubuntu system.

You never show the executed command just the results so it is difficult to provide help as exactly you are doing wrong.

I found linux-6.2.tar on linux but don't know how to install it ARROW DOWN

Command 'whatever command' not found, did you mean:

Is basically tricky and right now it doesn't do any job for me.

It appears that you have uncompressed the file and all you need to do is extract the archive.

tar xvf linux-6.2.tar
