Looks like this is your first PR contribution to this project, Thanks & Welcome @mpatnode!
We just copied over all the content from the wiki to the docs folder in this repo and will be updating the wiki to just point to these.
Can you make a similar update in the wiki like you mentioned?

and note the Window 10 build version requirements.
Its not clear to me as to why we want to call this out. Can you elaborate?

The default WSL uses syscall mapping, hence delve just hangs on the trace() call. You need to join the Windows Insiders program and get the latest version of the OS, and then you can install the WSL 2 kernel, which is a true virtualized machine.

| **_Solution_**: Ensure you are running the WSL 2 Kernel, which (as of 4/15/2020) requires an early release of the Windows 10 OS. This is available to anyone via the Windows Insider program. See [WSL 2 Installation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-install) | ||

Ah! The solution to that is split for Mac vs Linux, looks like the lack of indentation isnt helping anyone :) I'll fix that

delve will hang on the WSL 1 kernel due to trace system call issues. Just adding a note to that effect. Would be nice to put in the Wiki under troubleshooting as well. @ramya-rao-a
