> my best "Windows + WSL2" experience comes from Linux + a Windows VM tbf; your problem is you're running a buggy app that wants more hardware than you have and handles it poorly. I spend 90% of my day at a unix prompt; but you'd likely see similar HostOS stability irmprovement going Windows -> Windows VM` as you did `Linux -> Windows VM`. A few comments: 1) Ignore NVME wear; the drive controllers are smart enough nowadays to wear level; it will likely die sooner, but still outlive any machine you'll probably want to keep it in. 3) Buy the Ram. Whatever your motherboard fits, max it out. tldr; Your time is more valuable than dealing with pain to try and min/max your hardware life cycle (and honestly, your wallet). The time you lost switching Base OS is likely worth more than the cost of a ram upgrade; not counting that you're still dealing with (30%?%??!) crashes over it. Value yourself and your time.
