Oh right yeah — to be honest because I was so used to file system mapping being so slow (and even on my W10 box it’s not perfect for deep file system trees like node_modules), I stopped using it.

VSCodes “Create Remote Dev Container from Repository” functionality has made it even easier. My dev containers have no overlap with the host filesystem so macOS and Windows are equally performant for my use cases :)

Yes, wsl2 afaict works like that and a bit improved. Instead of dual booting or a restricted dev env, I click my Linux terminal icon and jump into a full & fast Ubuntu, including UIs when helpful. Sharing with Windows is possible through a shared mount of C:, but I rarely encounter it, basically only for a web downloads folder or working around certs. Same thing for VS Code, have a Windows mode and a wsl2 mode, and it opens the right one for you.

Almost all our dev is generic, so that means Windows for Office/web/... and full Linux for dev (except no real OpenCL).
