    WSL—and the ability it provides to run Linux on Windows—is actually quite convenient

      It is, but WSL is also pretty much shit.

      I’ve been maining Windows with WSL at work, and it works great, till it doesn’t. And then it just sucks, and sucks, and sucks.

      Almost always has to do with processes on WSL.not being killed by connectors to their windows counterparts. And docker desktop, holy hell, docker desktop and WSL just love to turn WSL into sludge.

      I’ve been fighting with it for years, WSL is an awesome idea, it works great when it works. But as soon as you out real development loads onto it it just folds.
