I hate how Microsoft is trying to kill Linux on bare metal with WSL.
I have had so many problems on WSL1/2 and the performance is just not comparable to my current Linux system, where everything just works how I expect it to work, no company automatically installing software (spyware) on my system without permission, no urgent automatic updates while I'm working and no new telemetry settings I have to disable after each new upgrade.
In linux I just have control over everything and it just doesn't get into my way while working.

- extheat 5y agoNever had any issue with WSL. However with WSL2 the fact that it uses hardware VT-x/HyperV is a big no from me, since that means VMs and WSL don’t play nicely. WSL1 albeit not full Linux kernel has been going pretty well for me however, as I mostly do C++ work.
- meibo 5y agoVMs don't tend to be an issue anymore, since pretty much all VM software supports HyperV now. VMWare works great, VirtualBox is still in beta afaik. It's a recent development so you might have missed it.
- k8sToGo 5y agoHow has your performance experience been with VMWare and Hyper-V at the same time?
