E.g.: As a UI extension, Remote-Containers has no way of discovering with which WSL distro an empty window is connected with. When there is a folder open, that folder's URI can be used, but in an empty window there is only vscode.env.remoteName and that is only 'wsl'. (Remote-Containers would use this to use WSL's Docker CLI when connected with Remote-WSL. microsoft/vscode-remote-release#3534)

@alexdima Will it be vscode.env.remoteAuthority?

I also got this issue today with remote containers.
When I connect to a remote server without opening a folder, I can see the docker containers but fail to attach vscode to it.
