My team has to support both windows and Linux builds of our product. WSL1 was a godsend for this - I no longer had to ssh into a VM and could build both the Linux and windows versions from the same source, which was amazing. I hit one issue with wsl2 and then I reverted because I learned that this scenario (different builds from same source) would always be slower on wsl2.
I tried to revert from WSL2 to WSL1 and just cannot. I think it is due to Windows Defender which I cannot disable due to a corporate GPO. I gave up and just use both Cygwin and a VMWare image again.
