Maven Project in WSL is Not Working with Intellij IDEA Community Edition 2025.1.3

Highlighting a similar issue which was posted here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/27372924462610-Maven-Project-in-WSL-Not-working

I am seeing all the same issues highlighted in the shared post above.

I am unable to load any of my maven dependencies through the IDE ( “Sync All maven projects” does nothing,
“Reload All maven projects” fails with error: An operation is not implemented.)

I can't even run any of my Java programs through the IDE as it fails when attempting to build the project. I can run everything through the command line, and even delegate IDE build/run actions to maven, but I am losing many of the powerful features that IntelliJ would normally offer when I build directly from the IDE.

IntelliJ Version: IDEA Community Edition 2025.1.3

WSL: RHEL8

Windows version: Windows 11

Sharing two upload ids with logs and screenshot of error

I am sharing a portion of the IDEA logs here for when I attempt to reload all projects for Maven through the IDE:
