       | but on a windows host with linux container it seems the best
       | setup for disk performance is to have the project with
       | .devcontainer located in a WSL2 vm and launch the devcontainer
       | from within WSL2. Also, good luck if you don't want to use Ubuntu
       | as MS seems entirely oriented around Ubuntu as the preferred
       | container platform and all examples and useful scripts which
       | launch ssd, etc, assume Ubuntu.
