Watch out for VRAM/RAM. When programs on WSL tired to take more than there was available it was crashing my WSL hard and even corrupting files on the virtual drive attached to WSL in a very strange manner that made recent files just disappear. I had at leat two projects that had to be rebuilt from past conversation with AI because all their files were gone after few crashes.

I asked codex to write WSL config to prevent crashes. It put some limits on WSL and the situation stabilized, but I lost all trust for WSL anyways.

What are the config settings you needed?

TIA

That's my wslconfig file located in my %USERPROFILE% dir:

    [wsl2]
    memory=40GB
    processors=8
    swap=8GB
    swapFile=C:\\wsl-swap.vhdx
    localhostForwarding=true
    guiApplications=false
    vmIdleTimeout=30000
    maxCrashDumpCount=3
    
    [experimental]
    autoMemoryReclaim=gradual

I have 64GB of RAM and 24GB of VRAM.
