Looks good

This is good. It has some chances to get out of date, but even then, I think it should be easy enough to follow.
I'd love to see what @MikkelHansenAbtion thinks on this one

+Open a new terminal window:
+
+1. Press the "⋁" button in the top of the terminal window. Then select "Ubuntu".


What is this? :D

I should perhaps have added a screenshot. But I was not writing the guide on the same machine as I was going through the process on

+Open a new terminal window:
+
+1. Press the "⋁" button in the top of the terminal window. Then select "Ubuntu".
+2. Press "0" to setup zsh with an empty `.zshrc`-file


Likely to change, but I guess that's fine. It'll be easy enough to follow

+Then install asdf:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.14.0


🤔 maybe a prior step to check what the latest tag is?

Suggested change

git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.14.0

You can check the latest version on Github and replace the version number.

I was myself not entirely happy about this, but it was what I could grab from the asdf docks.

+1. Start VS Code
+2. Install the package "Remote Development", it will add a "Remote explorer" entry in the side bar
+3. In "Remote explorer", under "WSL Targets", open "Ubuntu"
+4. You will now be able to open any folder in the linux file system using "File" > "Open Folder".

@jeppester
I tried following the guide and got stuck at step 2, (I already had WSL - Ubuntu):

sudo apt -y install zsh

I tried following this stackOverflow solution, with no change in output from the command.

Then I tried uninstalling McAfee apps (firewall etc) after reading Why do I not have internet access from WSL?

Then I exited WSL and entered wsl --update and retried the command from step 2, same result.

ping archive.ubuntu.com does not give me any response.

As Docker Desktop uses WSL to run, I have now turned it off to see if it interfered somehow, then started a new wsl shell and run step 2 again.
Turned off Windows Defender firewall, still no internet connectivity within WSL.

Lets try reinstalling ubuntu:

wsl --unregister Ubuntu
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
wsl
/mnt/c/Users/meh/Desktop$ sudo apt -y install zsh

Still the same stacktrace.

Seems to me the issue on my machine has something to do with WSL settings / firewalls, and not the distro itself.
I am resolving myself to not put more time into this for now.

Stacktrace:

Should this guide also propose a way to be able to run capybara browser non-headless, or is that already working somehow?

I have not tested it, but according to the WSL docs, x-forwarding should work out of the box for WSL 2.
I might have a chance to test it today though.
