WSL 2 1.0.0 lol, bumping version number doesn't make sense imho, look at the changelog.. The critical high CPU issue [1] is yet fixed unfortunately.

Submitted a year and a half ago and no fix? What a shitshow, recently I've been having this issue with Docker Desktop more and more often, might just move to a normal VM, this is unacceptable.

It's not just a CPU usage issue, either— vmmem leaks and holds onto several times as much memory as the actual guests are using, inevitably chewing up whatever you've set as your maximum quota for WSL even when the guests are only using a few hundred megs of RAM.
