When i type in the commands, this is the outcome. It's pointing to some list. But where is this list existing ? I mean, which part of my system ? (retrofed.com)

Is this WSL or a VM?

WSL

I'm not too familiar with WSL, but from what I understand, the files you listed here are stored in a dedicated file. This kind of file can contain other files and folders, a bit like a .zip.

As for where this main file is, or how you can see its content from Windows, I can only quote you the search result of "where are wsl files stored".
