I enjoy having windows as a machine for gaming and hacking, but WSL feels slow. Simple things like compiling and running watchers/servers for local changes.

What's the recommended approach for (non-visual-studio) coding larger projects? Install Linux on another partition? Use native binaries and forget about WSL?

Fwiw I like working in NeoVim and it's been great in WSL-terminal, overall I'm happy with that route - but the slowness is annoying...
