WSL1 managed to corrupt SQLite dbs. Which is really annoying, and does not happen with WSL2.

My (casual, not work) use relies heavily on Nix, which is built around a centralized SQLite file. I did not enjoy that experience.

Thanks for that, I have hit this bug once with WSL1 in the past and didn't think much of it at the time. Good to know what caused the issue.

Wow, that's amazing/terrible. Would you have a link to a repro?

I think this is the relevant bug: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2395

WSL2 has been great so far (I’ve been using it for a few months now with no serious issues).
