If you _did_ use WSL, I'd be willing and able to help you as I've installed
this and run Debian under it. There is also a #debian-wsl IRC channel on OFTC
run by the Debian maintainer of WSL packages, though it has almost no traffic.
It would probably be on-topic for debian-user since there isn't another
mailing list for it, I think.
All best, as ever,
