WARNING! I just tried installing debian/bullseye with this. Networking inside the distro was not working. Even worse, when I tried using my main WSL2 Ubuntu distro to do work, networking broke there too. BAD. I'm on Windows 11.

UPDATE: rebooting seems to have fixed the issue on my default distro. (wsl -t Ubuntu was not enough)

Hi! Thanks for trying Distrod! I've reproduced the problem except the part that it affects other distros. As a workaround, restarting the distro you installed should solve the problem. `wsl --terminate Distrod` The problem was caused by the fact that /etc/resolv.conf was not initialized during installation. Updated the README.md about the workaround. I'll publish the proper fix soon. Thanks for trying Distrod again!

i tried with Alpine image, no network neither.

Alpine is not a systemd-based distro, so Distrod will not implement Alpine-specific initialization. However, try `$ echo '' | sudo tee /etc/network/interfaces` and `> wsl --shutdown`. It will fix the network of Alpine. For network issues on other distros, the document to fix network will help. https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod/blob/main/docs/re...
