Hi! This is my first open-source contribution, so please let me know if this isn’t the right place or format.
Description
When building Haskell Language Server in WSL from Windows-mounted directories (like /mnt/c), Cabal can sometimes fail due to permission issues or be unexpectedly terminated, especially on low-memory systems. This can be confusing for new contributors since the errors aren’t always clear.
Proposed improvement
I’d like to add a short note to docs/contributing.md suggesting that contributors using WSL clone the repository into the Linux home directory (e.g. ~/dev), along with a brief explanation of why this helps.
