I had luck and on my WSL2 "Ubuntu 20.04" Machine the build finished after approximately 30 Minutes.

<p>For me it's as follows:</p>
<p><code>nix-build -A plutus-playground.server</code> -&gt; 262s</p>
<p><code>nix-build -A plutus-playground.client</code> -&gt; 25s</p>
<p><code>nix-shell</code>                             -&gt; 1715s</p>
<p>This is after properly setting all the IOHK caches correctly.</p>

For me it's as follows:

`nix-build -A plutus-playground.server` -> 262s

`nix-build -A plutus-playground.client` -> 25s

`nix-shell` -> 1715s
