Really useful, thanks! I've been wondering how to (a) tell if my existing wsl is v2 and (b) switch. Also liking powerline10k, after about 18 years of my own theme (:

It automatically comes with the Windows version mentioned above. So, just try to convert a version 1 distro to version 2 (an example is in the article). Fastest way to check :) BTW, both versions can run in parallel.

And thanks for the feedback!

Sorry, this was my lack of communication: what I meant to say was: I had these questions, and you answered them right at the top of the article, so I don't have them any more :D
