Should consider .cmd files or .ps1 if you can... you'll get more 
options... if you're really adventurous, you can try msys bash (comes 
with git for windows) and use bash scripts.

Yeah, there isn't a native mode fullscreen, so the default apps won't 
really do that... On the plus side, you can install the new Windows 
Terminal.

IIRC, it asks the first time you try to bind to a port what to do.

If you're running a Pro license key, you may want to give Hyper-V a 
look, it's in the box and pretty decent, like it a bit better than 
VirtualBox, will also operate seemlessly with WSL and Docker Desktop.

First time I saw an advert in the windows menu search results, I was 
out.  Linux full time for a while since.  Back on Win10 for the new job, 
do miss WSLg though, not able to run gui linux apps in my wsl 
environment (without jumping through major hoops) is less than great.
