I too am having this issue with ulimit in WSL Today, with the lates WSL2 - ubuntu, I can not change ulimit -n for common user. I can change the value for root. How to deal with this? Same issue here in WSL2.
Great workaround. Thanks BerserkerGaruk! BerserkerGaruk 's workaround does indeed resolve this! I'm running into this now ad BerserkerGaruk workaround doesn't work for me. Any suggestions? It's crazy that this is somehow marked closed and fixed. The sudo su workaround works for me, but that really shouldn't be necessary. Needing to disable sudo passwords is a security risk.

Downgrading to wsl 1 in the meantime. The tips in this issue didn't work for me with WSL2, but I found a potential workaround here: comment.
