Should be enough from a FS perspective yes, although:
(1) the WSL distros don't have systemd
(2) they ship with a custom kernel that doesn't support custom kernel modules
First point is trivial to fix but (2) may be painful. You could even share the desktop environment as WSLg uses X11/Wayland.
edit: apparently compiling modules is (kinda) working with wsl2: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4425 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4425

- evertheylen 5y agoI used to run systemd in WSL through https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie and it worked pretty well. Not sure about modules but I found compiling my own kernel with some more features (ext4 encryption support) pretty easy. (That being said, I'm extremely happy to run Linux natively now and no longer use Windows anywhere)
- gpm 5y ago(2) shouldn't be that painful since Linux distributions are generally perfectly happy with you booting off of different kernels at random.
