Paying attention to the software, WSL2 is one of the most convenient ways to run nix. No more messing with homebrew, you get real apt-get (and the breadth of packages and speed of updates that come from running real Ubuntu or Debian) or whatever else you want.

I really need to read up more on WSL2, but I'm on a windows box so rarely I haven't spent the cycles on it. However, every single time I am on a windows box, I really wish I had it setup for WSL2. Every other box I connect to has essentially the same CLI features, until those rare times I hit a windows box. <shudder>
