my wsl setup is wrong
completely wrong

Philosophically?
I read your blog post and love any efforts at recognizing how powerful and capable 64-bit computers already were a decade ago.
Two quotes came to mind about WSL: "...like polishing a turd" and "puttin' lipstick on a pig".
Since Win XP, there's just nothing that can make it "usable".
Wouldn't the time employed at flushing it all out for something like Alpine, bring meaning and satisfaction to you??
wsl is indeed very frustrating
when I posted my comment, the reason was I had switched back from wsl 2 to wsl 1 without knowing it ... and it messed up the settings.
Learning wsl is also not going to be useful,
it just add more hatred I already had for the Windows platform in general.
