Sure! Here's a guide on how to install WSL2 on Windows 11 (Windows Subsystem for Linux):

First, make sure that you're running Windows 11. You can check this by going to Settings - System - About and looking for the "Windows Specifications" section. If you're not running Windows 11, you'll need to upgrade your operating system first.

Open the Start menu and search for "Turn Windows features on or off". Click on this option to open the Windows Features dialog box.

Scroll down until you find the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" option. Check the box next to it and click OK. This will start the installation process for WSL.

After the installation is complete, open the Microsoft Store and search for "Linux". You'll see a list of different Linux distributions available for download. Choose the one that you want to install (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, or Kali Linux) and click on the "Get" button.

Once the download is complete, click on the "Launch" button to start the Linux distribution. You'll be prompted to set up a username and password for the Linux system.

Congratulations! You now have a fully functional Linux environment running on your Windows 11 system.

That's it! With WSL2, you can now use Linux command-line tools and utilities directly within Windows 11, giving you the best of both worlds.

As soon as I turn on Virtual machine I experience weird video glitches and with WSL2 on the sound driver stops working at all. The weird and complicated explanations on the internet of what I need to do to fix that are confusing as Hell! Can somebody help me please?
Nobody in these videos ever tells you that you might not have sound working anymore. And the explanation for that is "Windows sound drivers are better, so why would you need Linux sound drivers" I kid you not!!! I can't even begin to unravel this confusing unhelpful message and how wrong it is on so many levels.
As frustrating those things are - the "fixes" for these issues that were never supposed to be there are even worse. I got dragged through various multiple step fixes that point me to different pages making me download different things with vague and confusing info like - go to this place and download this - I go there and there are 2 more links. One of the links sends me to an entire folder of files, the other one splits into 3 more links 2 of which have the same name as the thing I am supposed to download. And that's only on step 1. There are 5 more and after configuring them all I press launch and something happens in the background for a microsecond. That's all. No clear explanation of what the Hell is going on and why wouldn't I have sound in the first place and why is everyone acting like it has never been a problem. Sound! I need it to work with WSL. I am not deaf!
