Anyone using docker desktop on Windows has been using WSL. WSL2. I use debian as my WSL2 distribution, it's OK as a development environment enhancer in that it removes the need to learn Powershell to do anything productive with a CLI.

It's not as good as running Debian directly. WSL2 was the motivation I used to switch to debian full time on my main development machine, so I'm not sure Microsoft can safely assume that having WSL2 means people won't dual boot or simply move on.
