Not sure WSL2 will like Wayland. It seems better adapted to text-mode command-line Linux work (I'm aware it can run graphical apps). What I'd suggest is to deploy a new Fedora/CentOS WSL VM and copy your home into it.

Oh yes. Unless it's a really nice machine and the hypervisor allows the VM to bypass hardware emulation when possible and use some form of virtio-like thing, it'll never be as fluid and snappy as when it's deployed on metal.
