let me post the screenshots first from the reinstalling a fresh installation.
i did not recall the reinstall process to be so… difficult.
i think it is due to using WSL2 and thus additional steps, the previous time installation was with a host device running ubuntu 22.04.
need to remember that when installing from WSL2, the Jetson device will constantly disconnect even though the USB cable is still connected to the AGX Orin.
this command is the one that prevents the agx orin from disconnecting at many of the steps during the installation. not sure if i recall seeing this anywhere. so hopefully i will remember this the next time i need to reinstall again. since reliance on docker is a very painful experience.

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(arm64v8)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash

okay docker is running now after downgrading.
continue with the other setup options like adding user to docker group and all that. Ubuntu | Docker Docs
Now docker v28.0.0 is not working on r36.4.3. Downgrading to v27.5.1 can fix this issue.
Another workaround is to build a custom kernel with the required configuration enabled.
You can find more info in the below comment:
If kernel compiling doesn’t work on WSL2, please try our cross-compiling container below:
