Can confirm. I've been working with a VMWare Linux Mint machine for two years, and very recently installed Windows 11, and decided to try WSL2. It's seamless, and literally Linux. I installed asdf and all the stuff I would normally do with zero headaches. No more vms for me.

WSL2 is literally a VM.

And WSL1?

A translation layer. It emulates Linux system calls.

yes but it's not a "VMWare" window and completely separate desktop environment. come on.
