Wsl2.0 is literally a Linux vm built into windows. I imagine some people are using that.

I mean I’m using coding agents on windows, because I’m not just going to learn a whole new operating system just to make robots write code for me.

I want tools that meet me where I’m at, not tools that demand I change up my entire UX to interact with them.

The assumption is not “what’s wrong with Windows that it doesn’t work with <technology>,” more “what’s wrong with <technology> that it doesn’t work with Windows”

Why wouldn’t you want your thing to be cross platform

Are you sure they're not using WSL2 (which is Linux, not Windows)?

Yes, sure, they're using Linux within a virtual machine (WSL2).
