Not really. For one, you are mostly fine running Linux terminal-only so it's really light and you are using less resources with Windows+WSL than Linux + full VM Windows.
Second, if you need both Linux and Windows you typically need Windows for something heavy - e.g. a Game, Photoshop, whatever, so having Windows in the VM is typically more limiting.
- sudosysgen 5y agoPhotoshop isn't heavy nowadays. Games are, yes, but the vast majority just work natively. Also you really miss a lot of Linux if you're running it terminal only without a GPU. Being unable to use the Jetbrains IDEs on Linux is the biggest one for a developer that's universal to any field. Also if you have to do something heavy, it's almost universally better to do it on Linux, ie, higher speed and better reliability.
