Description
Hi,
I am using WSL (Windows SubSystem for Linux), and it always complains "no dongle found", please could you advice how to fix this?
python3 -m ledgerblue.loadApp --targetId 0x31100003 --fileName bin\app.hex --icon 0100000000ffffff0000000000fc000c0f3814c822103f101120092005400340018001800000000000 --curve secp256k1 --path "44'/195'" --apdu --appName "Tron" --appVersion "VERSION_NUMBER" --appFlags 0x40 --delete --dataSize 145311 --tlv

Research direction
Reproduce the shown Python command under WSL and start at ledgerblue/comm.py, where getDongle raises the reported exception. Check how the Ledger device is exposed to WSL and identify what is needed for the command to detect it; done means the dongle is detected or the WSL limitation and workaround are documented.
