Minikube not starting for a fresh install in WSL

[debasishdhar7]

What Happened?

I am installing Minikube for the first time in windows subsystem . It is not starting

Attach the log file

logs.txt

Operating System

Ubuntu

Driver

Docker

❌ Exiting due to RUNTIME_ENABLE: sudo systemctl daemon-reload: exit status 1

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

There is a suggestion to replace the remaining systemctl calls with "sysinit"

• docker.socket vs docker.service in our code base #12276

Not sure if it would be enough to get WSL going, but I guess it is worth doing...
