> wsl -v
WSL version: 2.3.24.0
Kernel version: 5.15.153.1-2
WSLg version: 1.0.65
MSRDC version: 1.2.5620
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.19045.5011
> wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
docker-desktop (Default)
history
lists previously used commands in the following format:
:/mnt/host/c/WINDOWS/system32# history
0 cat
1 exit
2 help
3 history
...

).
