WSL2 has eliminated the need to use linux for me. Its got usb passthrough, graphical app support (with windows 11), as well as super clean VSCode integration.

If you are into ML, the Nvidia drivers also support running from WSL2, so you don't even need to touch windows for that. The only reason to run Linux is because its free, and you get more customization of the base OS. I run i3wm under Mint on my laptop for example.
