No need.  It's proven to be an inferior solution here.

WSL IS genuine Linux, running an ext4 filesystem.

Quit lying about what I said.  You do this a couple times a week now.

Why?

I sense seriously sour grapes because for this exercise your GuhNoo 
crapbox and bash is pwned by Windows and PowerShell.

Here's a nickel, kid.

Win11 rocks.  It's EXTREMELY stable, and almost glitch-free.  The ONLY 
tiny issue I have is every week or so the mouse cursor will stick in 
place for about a second.

Linux could only dream of being so problem-free.

But it's incumbent on me to say: MS has had many years to get 'Windows 
Update' right and can't seem to.  Check for Updates is now speedy, which 
is good, but a recent update (the 60th+) has failed to install multiple 
times, and now I'm being prompted to 'Reinstall to repair system files 
and components'.  Everything continues to work fine, but the OS is 
saying it's in a state of disrepair.

And when I tried to repair it, it told me my Win11 computer can't run 
Win11.  heh!

MS is doomed.
