You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

I cancelled my Replit subscription
Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

Advice to a Novice Programmer
From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?
But they never do.
FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

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.

RamRamRamEveryoneSleepingOnDocker
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.

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)
