kali @ wsl + win-kex + encfs home?

Hi there!

I've been attracted to kali-linux by https://www.kali.org/docs/wsl/win-kex/

I'm on a Windows 10 laptop without admin permissions and found kex to be a very easy to setup and performant gui environment.

I would have liked to encrypt my kali users home folder with encfs (encryptfs doesn't work because wsl2 is missing the required kernel module, therefore encfs = userspace encryption)

But encrypting the whole user folder prevents kex to start afterwards - The full screen vnc client window that it normally starts on executing `kex` just never opens, without outputting any error message.

I've now started to have an encfs encrypted mount inside the home folder and replacing stuff I consider unlikely to be causing problems with kex by symlinks into that encrypted-mnt folder. Sadly that's lots of manual work, and I thought I'll ask in the forums if maybe somebody else did something similar and found a better solution or maybe someone with insights into the inner workings of kex can guess what went wrong?
