I'd say it doesn't have ~90% of the difficulties WSL1 had. From what I remember WSL1 had problems with even most basic functionality, like the filesystem semantics, and never got to support eg DRI for X11.

Regarding clone() - it's rfork(2) you want to compare to, not fork(2). Not the same, sure, but much closer.

(Disclaimer: I'm one of the people working on it, so I'm obviously biased.)
