Description

**Describe the bug**
Under WLS you need to (unexpectingly?) use the Window's gitui.exe. It eventually comes up, but takes 20+ seconds to do so.

**To Reproduce**
1. Start a WSL shell
2. Run 'gitui'

**Expected behavior**
'Lightning fast' startup ;-)

**Context**
- Windows 11, Ubuntu 20_02.2 LTS
- GitUI 0.22.1

**Additional context**
Not sure if gitui is intended to be used in this setting, but alas.
