while WSL2 is great for what it is it just doesn't compare to working in a linux distro. there are a lot of pain points where external tools wont always work well with WSL.

I also like the productivity customizations posseble in Linux while the same are difficult or impossible on Windows.

of course if your work is tied into the windows eco system having WSL is good to have.

Completely agree. For me it’s a trade off. I’d rather use Linux on the desktop myself but it doesn’t work for me or the business I work for.
