    This is stock Dell 7720. Only thing not stock is that it is dual boot with Ubuntu Unity 25.04 and SSD has two exFAT partitions for my files. They can be accessed by both Ubuntu and Win software.

    Running most everything I need under WSL2 including EVOLUTION, LIBREOFFICE, NEMIO, PDFSTUDIO PRO 2024.
Something happened in the middle of the night and this morning there was WSL terminal window showing with Linux prompt along with several debug terminal windows without prompts. I entered "nemo" and a nemo (like file explorer) GUI came up. I entered "evolution" and my email returned and so on.

Perhaps I am not "drving the car correctly". There are two penguin (linux) icons in the windows taskbar.

I apologize for delay in completing my message. The two penguin icons in the Windows Taskbar are a text window entitled, "WSL Debug Console: and a GUI window entitled, "Windows Subsystem for Linux Settings" In the lower left-hand corner is a click-on text entitled, "Launch wsl.exe". Clicking on that text opens up a Linux terminal window, analogous to clicking on the Terminal icon on the Ubuntu Unity desktop. You enter the name of the program you wish to run at the $ prompt.

I hope I have this right so that those who do the documentation can come up with some simple, easy-to-understand instructions.
