Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Immutable/hermetic Distros may choose to only provide a /usr directory and mount other dirs like /etc as a tmpfs in which case it is not possible to ship the above config files in their original location

Describe the solution you'd like WSL should fallback to reading the config from /usr if it cannot find it in /etc. Even better would be to merge the configs if both files are present

Describe alternatives you've considered Do not support hermetic distros

Additional context The most popular example of such a distro is likely the impermanence mode of NixOS but there many custom, specialized distros which go this route. E.g. most immutable distros only provide a /usr and only populate /etc upon first boot
