Suggestion: in the alternative installation, I think I would mention that you can also use vscode, but now with extension Remote - WSL which lets you use vscode inside your WSL environment (but this is not mandatory, as someone might want to use an other code editor).

Next, I have a question: is there any performance advantages in using docker containers instead of directly running it inside WSL?

Thank you very much for simplifying the installation tutorial!

Thanks for the feedback!

We already have a section in the manual that explains this. I've linked it.

I would think it's the same as running WSL 2 directly
