                Jupyter lab on Windows 10 with a nice desktop shortcut and working matplotlib widgets
              
          
install from microsoft store:

debian/WSL2
windows terminal


check at https://aka.ms/wsl2 for how to set that up. Requires a reboot, or else you won't get WSL2 to work and jupyter will be so slow as to be barely usable.
today (2021-08-18) there were a couple new 'wrinkles':

I had to manually 'decompress' the app dir
I had to fix /etc/apt/sources.list to be proper debian 11 bullseye


I was going to build latest python3.9.6 from source ( which did work) but decided to just stay with the version in debian 11, since it wasn't that old (3.9.2), hence the long apt-get install line.
this setup follows the rule that its better to use pip in a virtualenv than it is to try to get things installed via system package, especially for jupyter lab.
node installation is actually as suggested by MSFT, nvm is quite nice.
