WSL doc

1. The WSL "how to" (https://gilesknap.github.io/mciwb/main/user/how-to/wsl2.html)
   has a link on the right side "Edit on GitHub"
   ... which is a dead link (404 page not found)
   I think the correct link should not have "user"
   Should be: https://github.com/gilesknap/mciwb/blob/main/docs/how-to/wsl2.rst

2. In the "how to" steps, the suggest Ubuntu 22.04 is not available as of today 2024-12-29.
   I will therefore follow this excellent tutorial using the default distribution, hopefully it will work. I thought it might help people to know this, not to be stuck.

@alexisdacquay thanks for the interest. This project has been quiet for a long time and there will certainly be some things that are our of date.

You should be good to go with WSLs current version of Ubuntu, I can't think of any reasons for that to be an issue.

I'm still interested in supporting this if anyone is getting use out of it. In fact I'm currently working on this https://github.com/gilesknap/tpi-k3s-ansible. This will create me a new cluster in which Minecraft will have a place so I might be trying out mciwb for myself again soon.
