   I'm genially intrigued, how to achieve this, assuming you are on standard Windows Defender setup, not some 3 AV/DLP tools working at the same time on system. My setup/config has NOTHING special usually - got laptop(s), start

   I'm using WSL since about 2017 on insider builds and wsl1 for occasional cases and WSL2 as as daily driver for, 5 years, so nice for me and no need in Linux on desktop.

   Nope, WSL is for operator machines desktops/laptops, pure Linux for servers.

   may be you missed the point - in WSL, you are with Linux/unix based env. So your Vim or other editors and tools just work like in regular Linux, Windows part until needed can be invisible and uninvolved. Other tools like VSCode IDE, ha

   I've stopped seeing joys of recompiling kernel [and consequence reboots of servers which easily could take 10 minutes and that's without IPMI /KVM] since 2009-2010

   I've tried WSLg for couple of times and all I run was something like xclock to ensure it works. I literally have 0 interest in running GUI Linux apps, so for me it all smooth sailing.

    I'm talking about more regular situation when you deal with new hardware- why on earth I'd go with outdated and limiting me T480 when T16gen4 is around the corner. Or ARM based laptops.

    First opening of my main wsl2 Ubuntu 22.04 instance takes roughly 20 seconds, the next new terminals opens in ~1s. As it happens once a 3 weeks or so when Windows rebooted for updates, I don't care much. It takes me more time to fill p

    I'm also not sure on your question, over the last 5 years, average interruption time is ~ 5 minutes to apply update, which happens roughly once a 3 weeks or so. Once or twice per year, release updates happen and that takes may be 30 mi

    IO bound, how you define that? From my perspective, modern consumer grade SSDs/NVMes producing 7GB/s-8GB/s (yep, Giga Byte per second) for reads gives me 1/7-1/8 of second to load that data in RAM the rest of the 1
