One cool thing about the update is WSL's filesystem now supports metadata which can store Linux file permissions. So instead of having 777 permissions everywhere you can have your WSL mounted files and folders have correct permissions. Problem is popular code editors like VSCode will strip this metadata every time you save a file. If you want to see this fixed, please post about the issue in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/49021 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/49021.
