Suggested Improvements

let's add why this: wsl.exe sudo e2fsck -f /dev/<device> will not work, why we need another distribution to repair your broken distribution instead of leting the --distribution flag blank and wsl will use the default distribution to repair the default distribution and then cause Another program is using this file and the process cannot access it error.

Yes - you need to have a distro installed with WSL in order to run that command because it uses a Linux tool. I updated the doc in: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/pull/1779/files Thank you!
