+====== WSL 2 ======
 As of 13.8.21, WSL 2 is also available, with a currently more complicated install: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
+WSL 2 uses a virtual machine in order to run the actual Linux kernel, this is meant to improve performance across the board.  Probably best to use this.
+Resolve issues: as of Aug 2021 the WSL machine can connect to external IPs but not resolve names.
+Check out /etc/resolv.conf -- you can disable autoupdating, then remove it (it's a symlink) and replace it with something sane (''nameserver 8.8.8.8'' for a start).
+But that may not help.  This did: https://gist.github.com/sivinnguyen/8bc0125b274250683a97e149cf270040 but it nuked my Windows network settings, which can be reapplied from ''run'' -> ''ncpa.cpl''.  For some reason the new Win 10 network settings couldn't change the IP address.
+Install Windows Terminal from the Windows Store.  Hopefully you have saved a profile at some point or can export it(''settings.json'').
