How to run an application through WSL in Rider?


I need help figuring out the following: I have a requirement to run an application through WSL (both in debug and non-debug modes) in Rider 2025.1. I don’t understand how to set this up—I’ve already installed everything (Ubuntu, .NET 8.0 SDK, etc.), but the application won’t run (Rider tries to launch it as a Windows application).

At home, I have VS installed, and it’s straightforward—I just open the project, and it automatically detects that it should run through WSL.

At work, I can’t install VS because the company has decided to develop exclusively on Rider. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
