It's just you. WSL2 is a real Linux, there's almost zero performance hit. (If you access Windows filesystem then that's slow, of course.)

- zinclozenge 4y agoCurious, though I feel like when I develop using an IDE like intellij, there's some sluggishness when the project files are on the wsl file system. Is it because of mixing between the windows one where the IDE is installed, and the wsl one?
- smileybarry 4y agoYes, the WSL2 implementation uses a sort-of SMB to mix filesystems, compared to WSL1’s “real” syscall translations etc.
- aspyct 4y agoI use WSL2 on a daily basis and I love it, but the console output is slow. It's mostly due to Windows Terminal having performance issues. But it does have a big impact on any script that prints a lot.
