WSL 1 was an ok attempt but yea, it had a lot of rough edges. From my experience WSL 2 is a bunch better and I definitely like it better than when I used cygwin

WSL 1 was an ok attempt but yea, it had a lot of rough edges. From my experience WSL 2 is a bunch better and I definitely like it better than when I used cygwin (but that was 10 or so years ago). Cygwin is an ok shell, but being able to yum install stuff and run linux programs on wsl 2 has been awesome.
