WSL is a pretty niche version of "Linux". I would guess that close to 0% of what makes it to the front page of HN had a QA team that explicitly tested it on WSL.

niche?

WSL (all distros combined) is the 2nd most popular Linux environment. Only behind Ubuntu.

Please stop making up facts.

1 of 7 Rust developers use WSL: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Surve...

I’m pretty sure there’s more than 7 Rust developers.
Maybe the Rust community and Windows users have a smaller intersection than let's say Windows and Ubuntu?
