GoboLinux
It absolutely 100% can be true.
As an example: Windows Services for Linux 2 used a special init daemon to interact with the host OS.
That meant no systemd. That meant that the `systemctl` program wasn't there.
This baffled legions, armies, of wannabe sysadmins.

People on the whole have no idea how this stuff works, and they just copy magic incantations from StackOverflow to get stuff to happen. If that doesn't work, then this OS is broken. The end.
For these guys, WSL was broken.

MS hired Lennart Poettering.

He "fixed" it. Systemd now works in WSL2. All those guides for noobs now work. Everyone is happy.
In a world where tools like Flatpak and Snap are proliferating and it's driving deep divisions between Linux distros, if you think the average person struggling with Linux is going to use `ldd` to work out where the dependencies for something live, I'm afraid you are a deep guru who lives on a different plane of existence.
We now have widely-used packaging systems which simply embed an apps entire dependency tree into a package to avoid people having to work out the difference between `apt` and `rpm`. Thousands of terabytes of disk are being burned to make this stuff go away.
Yes, this is too hard. Way too hard.

One of the bugs where on the Docker side. As I have said, there have been several since release with a lot of impact period overlap. The latest and greatest is not resolved.
the issue you're descibing is a bug in at least 1 specific version of docker desktop, not wsl.

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.0 release
I think it's this bug https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8696
A real nightmare.
There are several issues in the repo related this bug, here's another one with over 500 comments:
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6982
Almost 1000 total comments between both of these and basically no acknowledgement from microsoft.
- Why does "sudo apt reinstall bash" cause dpkg i/o error on WSL1?
-
WSL2 on Windows 11 - Virtual Disk vhdx is 200GB now , Inside Debian there is hardly few python codes. Is it due to this /mnt (these are windows drives mounted automatically by debian wsl)
It's been an open issue for years : https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4699

Sudo for Windows
Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo
Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.
That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "Whatβs coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?

Windows Terminal Preview 1.18 Release
gsudo is your friend here.

The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
Sudo works perfectly fine on Windows as well using gsudo.
-
Windows Terminal is now the default Windows 11 22H2 console
I wish gsudo was integrated, but otherwise, I've been very happy with Windows Terminal. Glad to see it finally in.
-
The windows 11 terminal app should have admin tabs, not making a new instance every time one wants to go into admin mode (suggestion)
I got around this by using gsudo and a profile with.

Why is my access denied on my pc
gsudo Is similar. winget install -e --id gerardog.gsudo

Is This Hacking ? π
You can do winget install on Windows now, took them a while to get there but still. There's also gsudo for almost decent sudo experience.

I am aware they can do different things, but I am curious
It exists! It's called gsudo and it's a third-party tool, but it works.
