Debian in WSL not Ubuntu
If you are using WSL for programming in Windows, you should use Debian.

I use Arch in WSL BTW. This is not a joke its actually quite nice
How do you get systemd to work properly? Maybe because I tried to follow MS's "use your own distro" instructions instead of using something prepackaged?
Surprisingly just setting the systemd flag in WSL settings worked, though for a long time I simply didn't use systemd.

Not op, and I don't care about
systemd, but...When I've used anything I wanted to substantially modify, I've followed the "use your own distro" instructions. In the past I've done this because WSL had a strong assumption of exactly one copy of each distro, and I like to abuse it for more.
Overall, I've had a better time with the the "bring your own distro" instructions. But some of my experiences with WSL were before they even got the Windows Store installer working correctly.
More recently, I recall Windows Store being fine for stock Ubuntu and for stock Debian. But I didn't find the "bring your own distro" instructions to be much trouble, either. My perhaps faulty memory is that it took maybe ten minutes, last time I used them.
