## Knows Problems

* Installation error: docker, docker-compose
  * When Docker Desktop is installed on the host system, it might try to link its docker and docker-compose setup to the arch linux instance, 
    * Disable wsl-integration in Docker Destkop Settings
    * Remove docker, docker-desktop symlinks
