Thoughts on Windows and WSL?
Thoughts on Windows and WSL?
So I've recently been interested in doing a complete switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I've been playing around with WSL2 in Windows quite a bit and I have to admit I am pretty impressed with their implementation.
However, one of the reasons I've been drawn to Linux these days is the privacy aspect, and I'm looking to get everyone's thoughts on whether using Linux apps in WSL improves your privacy at all, or do I need to just flat out get off windows to get any sort of privacy benefit. My plan is to eventually get off Windows completely, but I guess I'm wondering if WSL is a good middle ground.

WSL is good if you need Linux/GNU tools.
file,grep,find, and the occasional CMake compile are my typical use cases.I wouldn't consider it anything more than a tool. Try installing Linux in a VM or old computer if you want to try switching.
