    Suppose you work maintaining both Windows and Linux infrastructure, having both in one OS is useful.

    Or if you want Windows for gaming, not having to reboot is nice.

    However, I’ve been Linux only for >10 years now, so I obviously don’t see any value in WSL. I tried it a few times and it was neat, but ultimately not something I care about.

      Same. Tried to remote administrate a Windows 10 VM with Ansible a couple years back. Not a fun experience.

      It’s handy if you have use windows for something and you keep having to look up bloody powershell equivalents for bash commands.
