I'm a Linux user, and to me WSL2 sounds like it actually makes Windows pleasant to use. Now, I haven't used Windows 10 at all. The last time I used Windows was Win7 on a work project in 2016, and it was a typical experience for me - lots of annoyance due to lacking tools. MSYS is really lacking, I used Cygwin to do most of my work in a Linux-like environment with good versions of Linux tools, but it's annoying nonetheless. Occasional problems with Windows interop, occasional annoyance due to Cygwin packages not quite acting like the real ones, and so on. Seems like with WSL2, one could run Windows but do all the work using native Linux tools while enjoying quality integration with Windows. It's not a setup I would actually prefer over Linux but it should make any work where Windows is required much more pleasant. On a personal level it's interesting that Windows is getting WSL right around the time when I stoppped booting my Windows install for games. Proton has been amazing, changed Linux gaming completely almost overnight. It's still not the same experience as on Windows, but between Proton and even the occasional native Linux port of a big-budget game - no longer an extreme rarity - I've been able to play games on Linux like never before.
