Not necessarily. It is not possible to access the GPU in WSL at all right now, so I need to dual boot which also means dealing with Linux desktop compatibility issues with my laptop.
As long as I can use the same ML framework (without DirectX API), then this poses no compatibility issues at all. It just means I can develop & run my ML code in WSL.

Just curious, what stops your ML code from running under Windows?

It's way more of a pain, due to a lot of legacy constraints in windows. It's easy to overflow pathnames and command lines that then get silently truncated. Doing ML dev work is for sure easier on a Linux env than a pure Windows env. it's not impossible on Windows, but def much nicer in Linux.
