I don't use WSL but I use a Linux VM that I just RDP into.
I run Windows on my personal computer, and just have a Debian VM I use for work.
When it's time to work, I just click an RDP shortcut and 3/5 monitors turn into work monitors. I still have easy access to my Windows stuff on the other two for the non-work related stuff I keep open all day (Spotify, Discord, etc).
When work is done, I just close the RDP session. All my work stuff stays open. I don't need to worry about saving any state, or restoring it the next day when I start work.
Also completely obviates any sort of driver or hardware issues. Stuff that's simple on Windows (e.g., using any of the multitude of USB/thunderbolt laptop docks) is just a friggin' nightmare on Linux.
