I came across this guide of yours while searching for how to enable systemd in WSL2. I've been using the system for a long time, but have been struggling with enabling or bypassing it. Fortunately, your tips here have rekindled my confidence in keeping Arch on WSL 2 as my primary distro.

After repeatedly following the README, it still didn't work, so I went to the WSL.dev you referred to and found two small errors in what you gave following vim /etc/profile.d/00-wsl2-systemd.sh

Line 4, /lib/ systemd/systemd -> /lib/systemd/systemd

Line 5, basic. target$ -> basic.target$

Fixing them, I rebooted the Arch on WSL 2 and succeed to enable systemd, checking by the command systemctl.

Thanks for your guide again! It really helped me a lot.

I'm stuck in root I cannot leave it.

the spaces between /lib/ systemd/systemd and =basic. target$' should be removed

and in

exec sudo /usr/bin/nsenter -t $SYSTEMD_PID -a su - $LOGNAME

should be

exec sudo /usr/bin/nsenter -t $SYSTEMD_PID -m -p su - $LOGNAME

because something is changed in util-linux. if not you hit DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script#36

Systemd can now run on WSL out of the box. No need for daemonize.

Simply add this setting to /etc/wsl.conf:

[boot]
systemd=true

export DiSPLAY=:0 should be export DISPLAY=:0.

Removing /etc/profile.d/00-wsl2-systemd.sh solves the problem.
