WSL1 had / has really bad filesystem performance. Git commands would take ages on large repos as a example.

WSL2 has a linux fs which is fast and a bridge to windows fs which is still slow but I just live on the linux fs. WSL2 also runs native docker (and windows docker client and leverage the docker daemon in wsl).

It is not completely seamless but pretty good.

Usually he answer is either having a init that can run services or FS performance.
