> sacrificing compilation times by running in a VM that's too slow Fwiw wsl2 runs in a vm now (hyper-v). AFAIK it's in order to increase fs performance "inside" Linux (so faster compiles if compiling in wsl). It's also possible to use cifs/samba shares - but I don't know what you're compiling? Chrome/Firefox sized c++ projects? Might be worth it to try with a tmpfs/ramdisk either way?
