  A quick way into a systemd "bottle" for WSL

  

  I used to run systemd in WSL through https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie and it worked pretty well. Not sure about modules but I found compiling my own kernel with some more features (ext4 encryption support) pretty easy.

  (That being said, I'm _extremely_ happy to run Linux natively now and no longer run any Windows)

  Issues found on WSL

  

  I'm also not sure why I'd use WSL2 and there are two big problems I ran into with it:

  * It broke my ability to flash my ESP32 via USB (guessing WSL2 has trouble accessing USB devices)

  * It uses significantly more RAM than WSL1

  * There is performance problems when working on NTFS partitions, or at least there were when I tried it: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4401

  Distrod is a meta-distro for WSL 2 which installs Ubuntu, Arch, Debian, Gentoo, etc. with systemd in a minute for you. Distrod also has built-in auto-start feature on Windows startup and port forwarding ability.

  You can install SystemD-enabled WSL instances with distrod[0], and they have future plans to allow dual-booted physical Linux distro on a separate disk to run as a WSL instance.

  Looks like it can also mount btrfs and xfs directly
