> I would expect WSL to mostly be used in the desktop/workstation usecase It's heavily used for enterprise and production use cases in organizations (often legacy type orgs though ik a F250 tech company that does this as well) who don't want to use additional spend building a dedicated Linux fleet and a dedicated Windows fleet. Before you'd have to use Cygwin and deal with some level of non-reproducibility, but with WSL you can essentially get a MS supported Cygwin. > but I would have thought Fedora was more common The Linux workstation usecase is extreme niche compared to the dual server usecase.
