Yeah if you just use Windows as a way to run Linux VMs then some of the issues don't apply, but are you really using Windows at that point.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoThat's a bit of a strawman argument. Using Windows as a host has many advantages especially if you game, use VR, need to use some Windows only software, or for better compatibility with some HW, or want a less janky, feature complete desktop environment (yes, as a distro hopper and GNOME + KDE user, I said it, fight me :P) that actually solved fractional scaling, and supports things like HDR for your laptop with OLED display. Also WSL2 has way less overhead than using an actual Linux VM in something like Virtualbox. It's not for everyone though, especially with the telemetry that has to be disabled, but to me it's the compromise that's best of both worlds and allows me to use the wide library of windows and Linux apps and tools natively on a single OS.
