My question what should I do in order to debug my asp net app which is on windows that runs python tools commands that are on Linux WSL2?

Also is choosing to debug using WSL is same as WSL2?

'\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\'                                                                                      CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.                                                       UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.                                                          Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2604]

    Process.start can not directly run a Linux application. It can run wsl and pass the Linux command for wsl to execute.

    You could also use a remote shell api like OpenSSL.
