    Hello,

    I installed Windows 11 Pro via Parallels and installed Ubuntu on WSL. Since WSL 2 is not possible due to the Silicon architecture I'm using Ubuntu with WSL 1. Now when I try to update the OS I get an systemd related error (see below). Is it even possible to get Ubuntu working via WSL1 on a Silicon Mac?
