WSL2 supports all the good stuff like systemd. With WSL1 I'd have to rely on Windows utilities or handroll a lot more things


> WSL2 supports all the good stuff like systemd.

That has to be sarcasm, right?

Then again, I see WSL as a poor man's Linux ("poor man" being a developer in some enterprise who can't pick their tools freely due to some IT policy).


I like systemd. But I only know and use it superficially, mainly for fairly simple units that are sometimes running on a schedule.

And while WSL is worse than Linux without Windows, I still prefer it over MacOS with Linux running in a VM.
