Thank you :)
If you're using devcontainers, you typically mount the WSL ~/.kube folder into the devcontainer for consistent k8s access, as here. Unfortunately, if the config file is a symlink, this does not work, as docker cannot follow the symlink in the mount. This can be corrected if you symlink the entire ~/.kube folder in WSL, rather than just the config file... Do you see any drawbacks to symlinking the whole folder?
