Hi, Pat-
Thanks for these comments. We are aware that WSL 2 is out there now and that it has changed a lot of things... Sigh.
Daniel bravely undertook the early efforts at documenting installation; we still have some things to work out and decide on (e.g., what is best X launcher now?). It may (= will) take a little time to sort this out, so I agree that WSL 1 is the better way to go for now-- thanks for pointing out how to control/set this aspect.
