Watchpack error: EACCES: Permission denied

using watch mode of next 13 is constantly throwing this error on my project console, i assume this is the reason my watch mode is taking forever to load the new code that i often need to reload the page i'm very noob to WSL and linux stuff, how can i solve this error?

"project-dependencies": {
    "next": "13.2.4",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "18.2.0",
    "typescript": "5.0.2"
  }

use WSL2 if you can and did you clone the project in Windows or Linux? If you edit files from windows permissions get funky
