WSL1 just doesn't work well enough. I'd never recommend WSL1 for anything. The extra nines in compatibility matter in development work if you have any dependencies in your projects. WSL2 is also pretty good at giving RAM back to the host Windows. I guess you're really running thin on resources if this doesn't do enough.

WSL1 isn't the alternative to WSL2, it's the alternative to MSYS2. Surely you don't get more 9's with MSYS2.

  Makes sense, though I’d consider neither for work nowadays. I have fond memories of using msys2 for gcc but I’ve never used it for more than that.
