# 0. ON WINDOWS :
# On windows, to check which WSL you use, type ` wsl --list --verbose ` in admin cmd.
# If you are not in WSL2, reinstall the machine with WSL2 : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/wsl/install-win10

# 1. Make sure you are running with systemd
# sudo systemctl must not say "Failed to connect to bus"
# If so, I recommand you to reinstall the VM. You can try this repo too : https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.git
