Fix the issue with the kernel and figure out why "no installed distros"

The current workflow fails wsl whoami because thee is distro installed even though wsl --list --all shows Ubuntu got installed correctyly.

Another issue I was facing was about the kernel with a link to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package

This will fix WSL2 I guess but I wonder if WSL1 can be made to work, too.

I would like to find the most minimal scripts needed to get WSL1 and WSL2 print whoami.

wsl --update won't run because of this error:

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

wsl --set-default-version 2 just prints as if it was started with no options.
