I find the opposite, WSL1 is much faster for pretty much every usage except workloads that involve reading/writing lots of files.

  The difference on I/O is enough to make WSL unusable. I wasted a day trying to figure out if I had a problem with anti-virus or something that was blocking me before realizing that WSL I/O is just... well, slow. People kept telling me to upgrade to WSL2 to solve that but the version of windows I had didn't allow it. Might have been a blessing in disguise given the data corruption bugs.

    What version of Windows doesn’t have WSL2?

      You need at least Win 10 version 1903

      It was introducing in windows 10 release 2004. A lot of users myself included are still stuck on the 1909 update because it does not show up in our list of automatic updates. This usually happens if Microsoft update determines that some of your hardware may cause BSODs with the new update.

      Any version from 1.0 to 10.1809.
