"Bash for Windows" is just WSL2 (forget WSL1 existed, as a proof of concept market validator it was good, but it has real issues because bridging NT -> Linux syscalls is hard.).

It's not a native Bash experience but it's pretty close. I say "not native" because it's actually running a VM under the hood and bridging the file systems via 9P network protocol.

I know people who are using it and love it. I have not switched yet, but I am definitely going to investigate it at some point.
