Description

Trying to build try from the repository fails on WSL at the `./configure` step because the WSL kernel does not ship with the `overlayfs` module. I am instead running try by installation method 1, which is just using the raw `try` script. This works as intended because I _do_ have `unionfs` installed.

I am using a non-default WSL linux kernel from[ WSL2-Linux-Kernel](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel) that I compiled myself, which means I am on kernel version 6.6 instead of the default 5.11 that WSL ships with.
