Yeah, I can’t emphasize enough how it can’t replace Linux. And it doesn’t even always work that well for stuff that you’d expect to be able to work there.
I use Windows for my mostly-for-gaming desktop and because I’m very lazy with dual booting, I usually just use WSL if I wanna do some small thing. Or even some not so small thing. I tried to get stable diffusion working using it. I strongly dislike using the windows command line (I do all my professional dev on Linux and it’s what I’m most comfortable with), so I tried to use the Linux instructions with WSL. Did not go well. Wasted more time than I should have trying to make it work before I just gave up on that idea.
Not the first time I hit some weird WSL incompatibility either. I really should know better.
