    That’s the best bit about WSL (at least, version 2) is that it is a VM running a full version of Linux using Microsoft Hypervisor. There’s a bunch of drivers included that allow Windows and Linux to share filesystems and if you run Wayland/X apps in Linux they run on the Windows desktop.

      Sharing filesystems could be useful, I can see that.

      I do that with target dev platforms anyway, using things like NFS, samba and sftp, but I do see that it could work well for this.
