Hey guys I have a question. I'm trying to contribute to nextjs for the first time, and I looked through the discussions, got a feel for the community yk, and then forked and cloned the repo to ,y local machine but when I do so the fans go in jetpack mode and it heats up my laptop, like later on it dies down but still fails to connect to wsl. I do badi ally everything in wsl. I'm using a decent machine, it's an msi thin 15 with intel i7. Wondering if anyone faced similar issues before? What's the correct way to set it up locally so that it doesn't burden my cpu and I can actually get on with looking through the repo and modifying the code to make my first pr?

it stressing your system is common. I don't think you can do anything about it but just deal with it
