Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's not related to a project problem, but is related to some contributors that can't run tests by running them on Windows with Ubuntu WSL 2.
WSL2 initially don't have a GUI, so it can't run Cypress.

Describe the solution you'd like
Run Cypress in WSL

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a tutorial that shows how to solve this, and @milafrn and me have rewritten and translated it to portuguese to help people that uses Windows/WSL2.

Additional context
It's not a specific project related, but the problem can lead to keep people to contribute.

I would recommend this to be in the Wiki instead of in the project folder, to not bloat it, mainly cause it's not a general problem and not all people will have it.
