Show Linux processes in Task manager

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes my computer is slow, and I'd like to be able to see what's slowing it down, so I start Task Manager.

If a Linux process is slowing my machine down or using too many resources, I won't be able to see it in Task Manager. Instead I have to run an additional process inside the Linux VM (which may not even execute in a reasonable amount of time if the Linux VM is busy) to see what the process is.

Describe the solution you'd like

Microsoft Edge already reports usage of individual tabs to Task Manager:

It would be useful for the agent that runs in WSL2 to report the same details, allowing individual WSL2 processes to show up similar to how Edge tabs are.

Eg, say if my 'next.js' build process has a memory leak, I should be able to find and stop the process from Task Manager.

WSL1 already showed Linux processes, according to Rich Turner, so this could be looked at in some ways as a regression (though obviously WSL2 and WSL1 have very different architectures).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now I just have to see it's not a Windows process in Task Manager, jump into the Linux VM and wait for htop or top or similar to start

Additional context

None. Thanks for WSL2 thought it's great! 🙂

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the WSL2 agent exposes process and resource data to Windows Task Manager, and compare that behavior with WSL1. Done means individual WSL2 processes are visible in Task Manager with enough detail to identify and stop them.
