LXD works fine on WSL2 as unlike WSL1 you're now getting a full Linux kernel.

The main issue left is that WSL2 doesn't start your normal init system and so makes it harder to run a daemon... You end up having to manually start it every time which is a bit annoying.

But my understanding is that Microsoft is actively working on this and that we should have the normal init system run in some way in the near future.

Shouldn't this have been communicated better?

On your own forums the best answer people can find to this situation is basically "we have moved to snaps, this is not our problem".
