I need to change my .wslconfig files and need help with modification to change the number of CPUs and RAM used by Docker

[helpWithCoding]

hi, I am trying to this part (was recommended to come here to github for help): https://degauss.org/troubleshooting.html#Parallel_Computing_on_Windows and need to change the number of CPUs used to get the program to work. However, I am new to this and have followed this guide (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#configure-global-options-with-wslconfig) but it is very technical for me and do not want to compromise my system when doing so. I cannot change the resources in Docker so I need to change the .wslconfig file to do so. I am running Ubuntu subsytem on windows 11

My take in this problem was follow this steps:

• Locate wslconfig file in C:\Users\<you_username>\wslconfig (if not found you can create it)
• Place the following in the file:
  [wsl2]
  memory=4GB # How much memory to assign to the WSL2 VM.
  processors=2 # How many processors to assign to the WSL2 VM.
• Right click in docker icon and press Restart

You can always check this link fro additional info.
