wsldl : more linux distros of wsl2
I generally recommend just DIYing your WSL distro: https://github.com/yuk7/wsldl
-
First time I ever paid for fedora
You can install a ton of distros for free: https://github.com/yuk7/wsldl

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate it?
https://github.com/yuk7/wsldl combined with a tarball of the base root system (Gentoo is easy because that's how a system starts off anyway).

Custom WSL Distributions
For installing the distribution we'll be using WSLDL, start by downloading the latest version of the Launcher.exe executable, rename it to your distribution's name of choice, such as oraclelinux.exe and place your created rootfs.tar.gz file beside it, move them into a directory where you want to install your WSL filesystem, and finish off by running the launcher executable we downloaded and renamed earlier, and.. you're done, the distribution is now installed into WSL and you can configure and setup everything as you need.

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.
