Windows Installation - Recommendation to disable WSL2 #117

Description

The windows Docker Compose Installation recommends to disable WSL2 in order to mount drives other than c:. I am currently using Docker Desktop 4.8.2 with WSL2 on Windows 11 and I can mount drives other than c:
Below is the snippet from my yml
## Storage Folders: use "/" not "" as separator, "~" is a shortcut for C:/user/{username}, "." for the current directory
volumes:
# "C:/user/username/folder:/photoprism/folder" # example
- "E:/Pictures:/photoprism/originals" # original media files (photos and videos)
# - "D:/example/family:/photoprism/originals/family" # additional media folders can be mounted like this
# - "E:/:/photoprism/import" # optional base folder from which files can be imported to originals
- "D:/PhotoPrism/storage:/photoprism/storage" # writable storage folder for cache, database, and sidecar files (never remove)
Is it still recommended to disabled WSL2 ? Docker updates are focused on WSL2 and the memory management is much better in WSL2.
