I've been a WSL user for years now. Way less effort.

Until vmmem starts using 100% of your CPU and you need to kill the WSL service to get your computer back (without the unsaved work of course).

But yeah WSL is just too easy. Specially with native vscode support it has become a favourite for many developers

If I had been using using linux as main OS in that situation, I would have had to reboot. How is that different?

It's different because this is windows hyper-v (or something related) crashing and bringing down your WSL session with it. A native Linux is far more stable.
