WSL is unfortunately is less than ideal, not only is it rubbish (it has its own set of issues like weird networking bugs), it also doesn't mitigate any of the security vulnerabilities/bloatware/telemetry/bugs etc present in Windows. But you can always dual-boot between Windows and Linux. Just uninstall all your browsers (to mitigate risk) and other non-essential app in your Windows install, configure the firewall to block everything except games. And boot into Linux for everything else. |

WSL2 is mostly just a virtual machine. All of its networking bugs aren't that weird, they are pretty common networking issues you'd see from any other virtual machine configuration. Depending on what you are trying to do, switching WSL2's networking mode to "Mirrored" can be a useful way to fix networking issues by more closely aligning the VM network stack with the host network stack. This is often the fix for VM networking issues in other environments, too. Things like the host's VPN get reused directly instead of the VM needing to run its own VPN copy, for instance.
