I have windows in one machine and Linux on the other. And never shall the two interact.
Earlier I did duel boot, then I tried vm using windows in Linux , then VM linux in windows. Then I tried windows 11 with wsl. All of them had issues
What were the issues you've had with WSL? I've been happily using that for a while now.
It did not do background cron tasks over long periods, and, on top of that, the Linux kept crashing after a few hours. Particularly if the machine went to sleep
I had issues installing some things : after I learned to use docker desktop that was not so much an issue though. But, the docker desktop at that time kept crashing due to memory issues .
Additionally I had issues with Kubernetes, particularly the gateway, in windows ,that just worked in Linux
Also I had trouble managing tens of thousands of files in my code editor, phpstorm. I wanted the files on the Linux side but had issues despite running the editor on the windows side or Linux side. I had trouble using Linux tools when managed from my editor.
Also, when I tried it , I had some issues integrating Linux and windows gui together.
I think I would have had more success with all of these if I had more experience with the things that bothered me; and honestly phpstorm has always been a pain.
But I drifted more into Linux land and more or less gave up on windows except for games and connecting to other window machines .
But I was really impressed by the integration of wls, and spent many happy hours
