Do you know if docker and minikube work inside wsl2? I loaned my only windows machine to a colleague and won't get it back for a week or two, otherwise I would check it out myself.

I've not tried it but I don't think minikube would work inside WSL as it needs a VM layer (I suppose technically it could with nested virtualization).

TBH for throwaway Kubernetes cluster in WSL, I'd recommend kind (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind) it works just fine with WSL/Docker for Windows.

Docker works inside WSL2; it's one of the improvements over WSL1 that MS has been touting.
