  1. Windows Linux Subsystem 2 deleting my files on restart


    So I have been trying to use WSL2 for development. At first I noticed everything ran super slow. So I was told that I should be mounting my projects under `/mnt/wsl/`. This improved performance but now my projects just get deleted on restart.

    Anyone know what the correct workflow should be for development on WSL.
