WSL still has a lot of problems. You can find lots of issues on github that are common problems but yet open for years without a solution. Examples:
* Slower IO -- not sure if this can ever be fixed, but quite a bummer
* cpu utilization at 100% due to an issue with WSLg #6982
* no access to Internet when host is connected to VPN #5068
* very slow network in some situations #4901
These are not some edge cases -- they affect things that I use every day. Some of them have workarounds but overall this is still not very usable. I decided that it was easier to just get a separate machine and install Linux on it.
