So far I managed to get by using wsl just for redis, most software packages these days do actually have decent windows version, including pytorch etc. I considered switching over to wsl more, but I ran to wsl being very slow in terms of filesystem access, I think it had something to do with wsl 1 being (somewhat?) native while wsl 2 runs under hyperv. I think it's still not fixed.

Rancher Desktop is very slow. There must be a driver (virtio?) issue in their WSL VM. Podman is much faster.

Wsl2 has been significantly faster for me as long as I store the files in the wsl drive. I had react projects that would completely fail to get through npm install on windows but finished no problem on wsl. Microsoft docu seems to recommend wsl 2 as well. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versions#increased-file-io-performance https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versio...
