Issues setting up on windows

Environment setup always wrecks me. I cannot get Turso to install, I always get a wsl error:

<3>WSL (8) ERROR: CreateProcessParseCommon:754: getpwuid(0) failed 2 Processing fstab with mount -a failed. <3>WSL (8) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:331: getpwuid(0) failed 2 <3>WSL (8) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:502: execvpe /bin/bash failed 2 <3>WSL (8) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:505: Create process not expected to return

I am using powershell 7, not the default windows powershell. I get that error with all of these commands:

 curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
 curl https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash -sSfL"
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash"
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash" -sSfL

 curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
 curl https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash -sSfL"
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash"
 powershell -c "iwr https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash" -sSfL

Any ideas on what else I can try, or if there is something I need to change/install first?

Can you run "wsl -l" and tell us what it shows?

Not at my computer right now, but I will later. As a side note, when I ran wsl install it gave me an Ubuntu shell that I could run the turso command in successfully, but that shell is partitioned from the rest of my system. running that helped identify one issue, it had the wrong default. now it shows

PS C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\nvim> wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu (Default)
Ubuntu-22.04
docker-desktop
docker-desktop-data

PS C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\nvim> wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu (Default)
Ubuntu-22.04
docker-desktop
docker-desktop-data

I ended up getting fed up trying to work around wsl though and I just cloned the repo and ran cd cmd/turso && go install from inside it. Worked perfectly, I should have just done that from the start.
