Yeah one of the big selling points of WSL1 was the lack of VM.

Hyper-V and VMWare don't work well together. If your machine is running on VMWare (as do our development workstations), then you won't be able to use Hyper-V. This already prevents us from using Docker on the dev workstations themselves (which are Win10).

VMs give near-native performance, and it's not like WSL1 was particularly fast.

WSL1 was notably slow, because the windows file system stack is much slower on metadata than Linux.

The last time I checked virtualbox and hyper v can't run at the sametime.

VirtualBox 6.0 should support it. Still considered an experimental feature though.
