Type of issue

Missing information

Feedback

For the section related to moving a WSL distro, please also include the information to set the default user, or at least a reference and link to Advanced settings configuration in WSL: User settings.

I had to hunt around StackOverflow to find the finishing touches to move my WSL2 distro.

The example in the "Advanced setttings" also has an example wsl.conf with the section:

# Set the user when launching a distribution with WSL.
[user]
default = DefaultUser

This information could be directly included here.
