The WSL 2 docker-desktop-data vm disk image would normally reside in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\data\ext4.vhdx
Follow the following to relocate it to other drive/directory, with all existing docker data preserved (tested against Docker Desktop 4.21.1)
First, shut down your docker desktop by right click on the Docker Desktop icon and select Quit Docker Desktop
Then, open your command prompt:
wsl --list -v
In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).
The key components we need to install are tigervnc-standalone-server and systemd-genie.
For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the Sample screenshots section for examples.
So let's go. First, we need a working [WSL2](https://docs.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows/wsl/w
