Maybe we could add a note saying that it's possible, but I don't think we should cover it in too much detail, maybe just add the note with a link.
Then should I just proceed and file a PR with the diff above?
On details - absolutely not. There are already a bit too many different ways to flash a board and it's kinda confusing. But I think for WSL users being able to flash from within that environment is the smoothest way, and worth mentioning.
I see that there are different methods: https://blog.golioth.io/usb-support-in-wsl2-now-with-a-gui/?hss_channel=tw-1348350211681251328
That blog post shows two GUI's to control the USB/IP.
Hopefully they help the remaining Windows devs who prefer something graphical over using the commandline
I did not know such exist - but... I don't see that as being very essential. The auto-attach feature was mentioned, and that is potentially useful. Haven't used that one, either.
It's not much more troublesome than flashing from Windows.
