okay, thanks. I think I kind of have it. But I can't sudo. When I do it
asks me for the password, which I've added to the config.scm file, but it
doesn't seem to recognize it. I try and go into root from the windows wsl
command, and it confirms I am root, but when I try and do passwd it tries
to set the password it defaults to my user name then says authentication
failure. If I try "passwd root" it says I can't change root's password
(even tho I AM root at the time).
There are also still a number of errors/warnings when starting wsl -d guix
for the first time (including the screwed up vertical line spacing here):
