WSL has a bug that doesn't create /var/run/screen and even if you create it (as root) it won't persist a reboot. To work around this when running isthmus in WSL, please do the following:

mkdir ~/.screen
echo "export SCREENDIR=$HOME/.screen" >> ~/.bashrc

This bug will be marked fixed when Microsoft rolls out a fix for WSL.
Real linux users are not affected by this issue.
