Is there a sane single-click script to shrink all my WSL VHDX files?
These are the disk images that WSL uses to run linux from and I find they frequently grow unsustainably large, usually because I download stupidly large datasets.

Never messed with #WSL, does it give you the capability run a full-on WM the way we could with #cygwin? I used to use it to run #enlightenment on my #Windows computer at work.

It is interesting that this is on the flavour of Windows, DOS+Windows, that was not even designed to have subsystems and personalities. That was Windows NT.
Amusingly, the screenshot is not using the correct terminal type. Yes, there is in fact a terminfo entry that should be correct for this, that has been there for 30 years, waiting.

@hailey@hails.org it's still the wrong way around:
It's a #LinuxSubsystemForWindows (#LSW) not #WindowsSubsystemForLinux (#WSL) bevause that would be #Wine!
