Hi there,
I've added a dedicated guide for installing on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to help users get set up with Blackwell GPUs like the RTX 5090.
I ran into a couple of key issues on my WSL setup and wanted to share the solutions.
First, the xformers build process is very memory-intensive. Without increasing WSL's default memory limit, the build would consistently fail and cause my WSL instance to shut down unexpectedly. The guide now includes a crucial step to create a .wslconfig file to allocate at least 16GB of memory, which completely resolves this crashing issue.
Second, the original instructions to clone and build the repository didn't seem to work smoothly in my environment. While I haven't tested that method on a standard Linux installation, I found that installing xformers using the command from their official documentation worked perfectly on WSL. This PR adds those steps as a reliable alternative.
Hope this helps other WSL users have a smoother experience!
