Thank you for your review! I honestly love WSL (well, WSL2 anyway) and it's one of the first things I install when I reinstall Windows, which is roughly annually. That last point is kinda the problem in general- that I have to "reinstall Windows" at all.

I do have a secondary concern about the potential malware attack vectors that are introduced by running WSL; there have been reports of at least one that I know of, and also to the best of my knowledge, I don't believe that any Malware protection are smart enough to inspect the WSL subsystem when running.
