Component: 'WSL Kernel' Error Code: 0x80072f7d on wsl --install
I figured it out. You need to own the Pro/Business version of Parallels and then you need to enable nested virtualization. I removed WSL in "Add or remove program features", restarted and attempted to install WSL once more with wsl --install after enabling nested virtualization and it worked eventually.

Using Nested Virtualization is essential to use WSL2 and the brand new Windows Docker for WSL2.

Naaaah,
- Go to https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel and download the WSL2 Linux kernel update package for x64 machines
- Now execute the file, you should see this:
- And now run your Ubuntu/Debian/Whatever
