Honestly, whoever convinced Microsoft to make Linux run in windows was a genius. I would have seriously considered a Mac had they not done this. It just opens so many possibilities in Windows for me and all of it is so easy and simple to setup.
One stipulation in NT's subsystem at the time was that fork() needed to be followed by exec().
I've had to support a development environment that ran on WSL2, among other things. I regularly had developers attempt to start work in the morning only to find an overnight WSL2 update from Microsoft rendered their WSL2 instance unusable. It typically took a few hours of uninstalling / reinstalling to fix it. But in at least one case after a series of these incidents that cumulated in them spending a day trying to get it going they gave up and switched to Ubuntu.
The only reason I'd use WSL2 over a real Linux install for Linux development is because of ISO 27001 / SOC 2 restrictions pushed from above. I don't have a clue why people would do it voluntarily. It's not only a fragile and incomplete implementation (especially on the networking side), it's also noticeably slower.
Embrace.
