I use WSL daily on my desktop and laptop for work - full stack development and sysadmin/devops. Familiar CLI tools available right from my Windows desktop are a great thing. I’m really, really happy with WSL since I can use one powerful PC for work, music recording and occasional gaming.

Yeah, just like Linux but with added spyware!

  Just like Linux but with a broader software catalogue, more stable drivers and updates. You can also disable telemetry quite easily, if thats what you mean by “spyware”. YMMV, of course.

    With wine/proton on Linux, not only do you get the old software thats no longer compatible with windows, but the new stuff too. And you dont have to play whack-a-mole with security settings against an increasingly hostile Microsoft.
