and has magic to glue it to windows. that's literally it, the only difference. >>106375274 (OP)
if you don't care about the glue then just use hyper-v, it's right there. your preferred distro probably has an image already. try it out. join us, anon.

why would i fully switch from windows to linux? I only need linux to try out some git repos since they're built for a linux environment and i wanted to know if there was any difference between building them within wsl or a native linux system.
>>106375397
you mean like the filename stuff? i thought you could disable that using group policy trickery, but i guess you mean "deal with" in the operative sense so yeah, i feel that.
>>106375381 >i wanted to know if there was any difference between building them within wsl or a native linux system.
Because it's just a VM, it'll act identically as WSL as it would in any other VM. It actually really Just Works.

but what about the performance metrics if i was running something like a cuda programming kit? there has to be something significant there right?
>>106375410
Yeah try compiling a big project under wsl. It may either fail because of a filename/path issue that is invalid under NTFS or it will work but it will take a long time to compile because NTFS support on Linux relies on a userspace driver.
