Found many posts on this subject where its my /etc/resolv.conf. I tried all the various nameserver settings. -- IE: nameserver 8.8.8.8, 127.0.0.1, default, nameserver from wsl. But all result in error. I even tried different distro's all the same, guessing there's a setting on windows that's blocking. ''' sudo apt update [sudo]

I gave up, I just downloaded docker desktop and built my own container. This allowed me to install everything I needed.

Its not related to /etc/resolv.conf -- but HyperV -- I tried the workarounds using bridges but still didn't work for me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
