Still on Fedora 30... probably time to reformat and install fresh.

Really wish Fedora would cut an official WSL2 image.

It’s always nice starting from a fresh install. But if you’re worried about things breaking during a 30-34 upgrade, i’d suggest doing a backup of your system and trying it out. I’ve been extremely impressed with how flawlessly fedora pulls off dist upgrades in the past.
Generally my big fear is the interaction with the kernel and Nvidia drivers during update... I've been burned a few times on that.

Also works for Fedora 34. It results in a very lean image, but works for me as my primary dev image on WSL2.

I'll give this a shot, thanks!
