WSL doesn't change the line endings, so you'll want to make sure that if you use Git for Windows along with it, you set it up to use Unix line endings. Most decent editors (including VS and VSCode) can handle LFs just fine. The most annoying gap is Notepad.
We are definitely aware of the problems with the terrible color scheme. I don't remember right now if we have done anything about it quite yet... but it should be coming. In the meantime you can adjust the colors manually.

Btw: I can recommend Notepad2-mod: https://xhmikosr.github.io/notepad2-mod/
It can replace Notepad and understands LFs.
You can install it with Chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/packages/notepad2-mod which will automatically set it up as a Notepad replacement :)

As far as line endings etc goes, WSL is Linux. It literally has the same binaries running.

I always configure git and all editors on Windows to use LF line endings. It is so annoying that so many applications use CRLF endings by default, I never understood reason for that, I'm always using LF and have no issues.
Edit: Also, does the windows terminal now have some sane colour scheme? I could never make it work to not show me some completely unreadable colors, like dark blue text on black ground or light yellow on white.
