@filipematossilva i agree your last comment starting "novice or intermediate users..." -- perhaps ms is trying to make things somewhat tolerable for enough devs to work on porting things while they have some other plans to arrange for a situation where it will be easier to port to windows... in any case, having something like wsl2 usable by the home edition of w10 seems better than not.
oh yeah
for me wsl2 means "I don't have to bend over backwards with docker when I need to test things on linux"
and "I don't feel pressured to get a mac because all my coworkers use macs primarily and have project tooling setup for it"
so in that sense wsl2 is mostly preventing me from looking at non-windows machines
I've a friend that has been given a mac on his last few jobs and he just hates the damn thing, and has to justify to the company why he should get a non-mac machine
arguably having a real linux distro integrated with windows is better than having the osx flavour of linux compat
I mean, when I push things to CI or remote servers they aren't running osx
there is an advantage is having access to a dev env that is closer to the env where code ends up running
