That should be part of the team culture, similar to agreed upon coding conventions and naming standards. If there are no guidelines, Bob can screw up Go code just as bad as Perl.

WSL can do hardware acceleration (for video too), and supports GPU passthrough so Linux CUDA apps can run fine. You can also use your USB devices. You can access your Linux files from Windows easily too. They are under \\wsl$\distroname\…
