    All good, except for that last one. I really would recommend that users don't put the auto-cd into their startup config, as that can cause unintended consequences elsewhere. Best to let the terminal application handle that by starting wsl ~. I recently came across a comment from one of the WSL developers recommending against the cd in ~/.bashrc, as well, but I forgot to save it. Commented Nov 30, 2022 at 20:38
