Absolutely! With WSL2, one huge upside for me is that I get the best of both worlds. The driver support for Linux pales in comparison to Windows.
Comment on Why Linux is better for (most) developers!

Nowadays with WSL Windows is pretty good. Pretty much anything you can do on Linux you can do on Windows.
Now, not being worse is not really a point towards Windows. For developers its absolutely not worth it tanking the horrible storage performance, preinstalled ads and handing your soul to Microsoft for the privilege of not being worse than native Linux.

I have had major problems, because I am also forced to use WSL. The network situation is the largest problem. Colleagues have had random time differences in WSL causing even TLS to fail, because they were 15 minutes in the past.
I have had major issues, and I think its only because of WSL and wouldnt happen on native Linux.

NTFS is by far the worse filesystem commonly used nowadays. Even Apple has a better filesystem.
