A comment on Windows Sandbox.

Windows Sandbox, together with WSL, have liberated me from VirtualBox/VMware Workstation. So thankful for that. Now I only wait for native USB support in WSL.

This is useful on the USB support front: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb

In case you don’t know about it, there is good workaround based on USB over IP that is officially recommended by MS.

I used it a while ago to flash a ESP32 and to connect a Zigbee Adapter to a Linux container. Had no issues with it.
