I love WSL, but I have multiple systems and juggling apt packages is a pain. So I had this in my head for a long time, that I can just build a rootfs using docker and load it in WSL. I tried it yesterday, and now I have a CLI tool to build my WSL image using Dockerfiles. I'm not sure if it helps anyone, but I wanted to share it, just in case. Cheers.

Could you add this to the README? I went looking for the "Why?" and couldn't find it, I think others would like to hear this too =) Best thing I could come up with was "declarative WSL setup like Nix/Fedora Silverblue"
