You can run windows apps within WSL too though. (I guess maybe not WSL2)

  Well the thing is if you npm install a lot of stuff using the WSL version there may be packages that include platform specific stuff. Then trying to run it with the native node might not work. But thinking of it I guess you could have all the WSL scripts use the native version. Not sure if there would be issues. Or let's say you have to compile something that you want to use as a child process in your software. If you compile that under WSL (correct me if I'm wrong[0]) it's not going to be easily accessible to normal Windows apps. [0] I see that now there's some way to invoke wsl commands from regular Windows but not sure how that works exactly.
