Another funny interaction I found with WSL2 and Windows is file case sensitivity leading to all sorts of weird error messages I wish I can use a real Linux installation but their display drivers don't work well with my multiple displays with different resolutions

>their display drivers don't work well with my multiple displays with different resolutions Unless you're writing through a time warp from 2004, this is not true at all, IME. But the statement is vague. "Work well" can mean some esoteric DPI scaling stuff that I think is only noticeable with 4K combinations. What distribution? What's "their display driver"? Nouveau, the open-source Nvidia one, is pretty bad, and everyone uses the proprietary Nvidia driver (this may be hard to come by on some distros, like Debian, but don't use those; use Ubuntu or Manjaro). The AMD open-source one is great and everyone on AMD GPUs uses that. I've been running triple monitor, diagonally-aligned 1080p/1440p configurations for years on several distros and DEs with both Nvidia and AMD drivers.

  I have a drawing tablet with a display in 1080p while the rest of my monitors are 1440p. For whatever reason, my mouse cursor thinks it's on a 1080p display inside my 1440p monitors resulting in a humongous cursor. (nvidia's proprietary drivers if it matters) I doubt this will ever be fixed since it's an obscure hardware that's rarely used by other Linux users

  I use a 1080p and a 4k display, it's pretty tricky getting consistent scaling per display.

What kind of problem do you have with case sensitivity?

  My most recent experience was with typescript-eslint inside WSL. It's a known issue but I'm not sure if anything will be done other than just renaming all my JS projects to use lowercase names https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/issues/1580 https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/issue...
