Oh thank goodness I wasn't the only one with this issue! My coworker uses WSL2 regularly and never ran into it...
That aside I think it's a pretty good substitute, but if your stack is already Linux adjacent anyway I think running Linux is best.
They are still using ram as a buffer for file transfer... absolute pain with big files.
wow, still? this was actually the final nail that drove me back to Linux. that was years ago!
What are you talking about? I use WSL2 every day. Issues are very rare (rarer than on my desktop that runs an actual linux distribution...). I've never encountered 100% cpu when waking up from sleep.
I use it every day too. Issues are not rare. It can even bluescreen windows (docker garbage collect on a many core workstation). I would not recommend over Linux if one has a choice (I don't).
