I'm a relative beginner to development and have found no issues with WSL2 so far. Any pitfalls to be aware of?

When I was using wsl1 I ran into ocassional nuisances: needing to specify a windows mount point and having a problem with phpstorm connecting to it (iirc I had to use a docker for windows setting which was referred to as legacy or insecure maybe).

It wasn't too bad though honestly.

I ended up swapping to debian after my workplace rolled out some insane MDM policies / forced application installs. It is much nicer to dev in *nix

WSL2 is so much better than WSL1
I find that still slow compared to full blown dual install of Linux.
