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
