I'd love to use WSL2 but the longstanding issue with slow I/O between WSL <-> NTFS host is a dealbreaker. It basically means you have to keep all your data inside ext4 in Linux and that defeats the whole point - e.g. you can't keep your code, or files you download etc in Windows.

With WSL you can keep all data in NTFS, have near native speeds but you can't run a bunch of Linux cmdline tools.

I don't know if they can solve it, its basically sending data across the network, But this is the last barrier to a great Linux on Windows.
