I'm a relative beginner to development and have found no issues with WSL2 so far. Any pitfalls to be aware of?

  When I was using wsl1 I ran into ocassional nuisances: needing to specify a windows mount point and having a problem with phpstorm connecting to it (iirc I had to use a docker for windows setting which was referred to as legacy or insecure maybe). It wasn't too bad though honestly. I ended up swapping to debian after my workplace rolled out some insane MDM policies / forced application installs. It is much nicer to dev in *nix

    WSL2 is so much better than WSL1

      I find that still slow compared to full blown dual install of Linux.
