What is your favorite desktop environment?
At the risk of being downvoted to hell, but to offer a different perspective, my answer is, that my favorite DE for Linux (not only Fedora) is... Windows with WSL(g). I'm a huge Fedora fan, have installed it bare-metal, but use fedoraremix WSL distro almost exclusively. The problem with that solution is that it requires an absurdly huge amount of memory to work comfortably, so I admit, that it is not a good solution for any system with less than 32GB of RAM.

Fedora WSL Installer
You could download the msix bundle for fedora remix from Github or using winget: winget install --id whitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl

Podman v4.2.0 Released
BTW. I'm not using Ubuntu WSL, and I'm on fedoraremix instead - you can install it for free from https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases. As of now it installs Fedora 35, but you can upgrade it to 36 and there you have podman 4.2.0 available for install. Maybe it would solve some of your issues?

Podman 4.2.0
[2]: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL
Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.
- Confused... and amazed.

First time I ever paid for fedora
Lol, you could have sideloaded it for free.

Part of Windows 11 is a revamped Windows Subsystem for Linux
I just found out you can actually run slackware under wsl:

Finally, Slackware distro for WSL, check it out!
Could you update your github repository. You seemed to have copied a large amount of content from MS provided WSL launcher code, used to create distributions for the store. But you didn't update the readme files. They read still as if the code is from MS. See: https://github.com/Mohsens22/WSLackware/tree/main/src/WSLackwareLauncher
