WSL2 is fast, rock-solid and outperforms a Mac with iterm2 by far. I don't know which fluidity you mean on a multi montior setup you lack on Windows. Re short-cuts Windows has more (just think of win+number or built in window management) or autohotkey which owns karabiner. MacOs is good if you need Xcode but other than that? Idk

My 2015 MacBook is much faster. I honestly thought the WSL thing was just a gimmick and some online searching told me that there are IO performance issues.
- newhna 6y agoNo benchmarks but I had never issues with WSL2. I on a 8550u with 8gb.

- tracer4201 6y agoI was curious if I was using an older version that led to my problems with WSL2, but I just did a search right now for “WSL 2 slow” on Google. I see threads and discussions in the past couple months with people still calling out how slow it is and other issues.

- kyriakos 6y agoKeep in mind that Wsl2 barely came out of public beta so obviously it will have online comments about performance issues when compared with products that don't have a public beta. And yet if you search for it you can find a lot of hits on macos bad performance. Not saying either is better just that the metric you set is inaccurate.
