Thanks for the report, could you run the test with DEBUG=pw:protocol,pw:browser and upload the logs?

I just ran your snippet on ubuntu 20.04 and wsl2 with no issues. The only difference is that I ran in headless mode. Does the problem persist if you remove headless: false argument?

Update: I managed to launch it in headed mode too, the x-server I used is VcXsrv which I configured following instructions from this post. I was running under normal user (not root) which might matter. Does chrome launch for you if you try /root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-854489/chrome-linux/chrome ?
