But then you have to use an Oracle product. I'll pass, looks like RHEL is on their way anyways.

Oracle Linux actually adds some significant features to RHEL.

Btrfs gets first tier support under the UEK.

The UEK also includes all the drivers available in stock Linux that are removed in RHEL.

And did I mention that it's free?

WSL2 usually runs on kernel from MS, not from one of the distros

...and wsl1 doesn't run a Linux kernel at all.

The expanded hardware and btrfs benefits of Oracle Linux are general, not specific to wsl.

It's dead on arrival considering the source. I avoid Oracle out of principle, and my memory of what a shit org they are. It could do my laundry and place winning bets for me and I'd still look for a similar product from almost anyone else.
