WSL / Windows Terminal Integration

[htngr]

Hiding / Modifying instances in terminal dropdown

Docker Desktops' and Rancher Desktops' distros are hidden via an explicit blacklist
A better way is by adding 'JSON Fragments' to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\Fragments\{app-name}\{file-name}.json. See rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop#818 and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/json-fragment-extensions

Goal: Prevent user from launching instance when controller is not running

Possible Solutions:

• Hide generated entry by WSL, Add custom one for devenv run <name>
• Modify generated entry

Windows Explorer

WSL uses the distro name (currently devenv_controller / devenv_instance_<name>) when displaying it in explorer / start menu.
It would be better to have a more "human friendly" name (e.g. "Devenv ")

Possible Solutions:

• Wait for Microsoft to implement some kind of hide / name flag per distro: docker-desktop and docker-desktop-data in File Explorer? microsoft/WSL#6176
• Register the instance with a human friendly name
