as per #374 (comment) and other reports I have noticed people try to install CRC inside the WSL2 environment; this is unsupported from the nested virtualization perspective, but also not recommended.

Since they run WSL2, Hyper-V is installed and working, so a native installation will certainly work.

This check looks at the kernel version string and determines if a
Microsoft compiled kernel is used, as is the case with WSL2. This is to
prevent a setup that uses Nested Virtualization.
