Believe it or not, Windows (WSL) is the best Linux distro and Nvidia knows that.

It often works, but you always lose something compared to native Linux.

Nah, before WSL I was already using a mix of Virtual Box and VMware Workstation, between home and work computers.

Installing Linux natively on laptops has always had some specific features not working.

Even my Asus netbook, which came with Linux pre-installed, had wlan issues that I learned to work around with, and the driver never supported the same OpenGL version as the Windows one (3.3 vs 4.1).

My comment was saying you lose something (e.g. performance) when using WSL2 compared to native Linux on a proper workstation.

Linux driver has always been an issue on laptops, but that's not the concern for running Python code.
