So, I had WSL running on Win11 but I am a little confused because I had Ubuntu installed and I was working in the directory at /var/www/html/
I think I broke it because (not 100% sure here) I had an Ubuntu 24 .ISO file in my downloads directory inside a folder called Ubuntu or Ubuntu_24. I think the Ubuntu instal was using that .ISO to run maybe? I removed it to free up space and then when I went back to Ubuntu CLI it returned the error below.
I can't remember what the directory in Downloads was named. I tried putting it back but things remain broken.
Where do I find the "kernel=C:\wsl\myCustomKernel" file? Is it even a file? I don't much about Kenrels. The relationship between Linux/Ubuntu and Windows 11 baffles me...
I use Ubuntu on the regular and do lots of server admin in Linux so I'm familiar with Linux distros but I'm not sure how I broke this. Was it removed the .ISO file for Ubuntu? I don't know.
But now it's broken it won't run and I can't reinstall it because it says it is already installed. I have work there that I'd prefer not to lose. It's only 1 day's work so I can redo it but if I can fix it I'd prefer that.

Any tips on where to put the kernel or how to resolve the missing kernel error would be appreciated!
