Talk:Gentoo in WSL

On changing the default user
I edited the page yesterday to reflect that due to the way Gentoo is installed in WSL (imported through PowerShell instead of installed from the Windows Store, or whatever they're calling it today), /etc/wsl.conf doesn't work to set the default user when opening a WSL window. I added the instructions for editing the registry to do this. This morning, someone's added the old instructions back in, even though they don't work. I just got around to installing Gentoo under WSL on Win11 yesterday on the Framework Laptop I bought a couple of months ago; instructions nearly everywhere said to create /etc/wsl.conf. I did, and it made not a bit of difference: new windows still brought up a root prompt. I recalled having to tweak the registry on my other Windows installs and eventually found those instructions and brought them over here.
