In my experience, WSL1 is also very, very slow and cannot run all programs. A while ago, no haskell programs would run, for instance. Not sure about the current status though. Another limitation in WSL1 is that it cannot run docker. And so on. It still might be an OK way to obtain *nix based software, and can «see» your windows directory tree without any mounting/configuration. And no VM is needed.
