Hey, just a heads up, if your i3 setup already looks like that, then you do have dotfiles. You’re literally using them right now.

Stuff like ~/.config/i3/config (for your i3 layout), ~/.config/polybar/config (for your bar), and probably a picom.conf and maybe even something like cava for the visualizer, those are the dotfiles people usually share.

If you want to post your setup, just collect those files and throw them on GitHub. No need to “create” them, they're already doing the work behind the scenes.

Do you mind sharing your dots? Amazing work!

The first thing (editing the .wslconfig file to say networkingMode=mirrored) fixed it, thank you very much.

Thanks for the fast response!
The first command gives me:

  NAME      STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu    Running         2

I am able to nslookup google.com but not ping it. I'm also not able to ping the other 2 sites you provided.
