If you want a great Linux desktop experience, don’t buy Nvidia GPU’s. Intel and AMD has very good open source drivers, while Nvidia has only the proprietary ones and they are known to have all kinds of issues. There is a good reason Linus Torvalds said the famous words “fuck you Nvidia”.

And major problem that still persists with WSL is the NFTS mounts in Linux. At work we can’t have decent compile times on Windows because of the file system.

WSL2 uses ext4, not NTFS. Just make sure the files live inside the WSL2 filesystem and not on the Windows host, and you're good to go.
