Understood, my mistake.

I wonder if explorer.exe or any other general purpose open command is
guaranteed to be available in all WSL distros. There’s also a consideration
to be made on WSL1 vs WSL2 (only v2 ships an actual Linux kernel).

For detection, there’re some other projects that have done this for some
time. Not sure they’re up to python-core standards, but I put an example
for the fish shell in my original description.

Might be worth looking into.
