My questions as a user here would be:
- why do I need to do this?
- given that this says that it might work without using WSL (and has in the past), what do I miss out on if I don't do this?
It's worth making a note here that links to a website doc about why we're choosing WSL over just running in plain old windows. Likely we want a small blurb about the rationale (support for bash, support for better sandboxing etc.)
