So I’ve recently been interested in doing a complete switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I’ve been playing around with WSL2 in Windows quite a bit and I have to admit I am pretty impressed with their implementation.
However, one of the reasons I’ve been drawn to Linux these days is the privacy aspect, and I’m looking to get everyone’s thoughts on whether using Linux apps in WSL improves your privacy at all, or do I need to just flat out get off windows to get any sort of privacy benefit. My plan is to eventually get off Windows completely, but I guess I’m wondering if WSL is a good middle ground.
Can you elaborate on this?
Originally had WSL1 installed, upon upgrade to WSL2 all my VMs for VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation would no longer boot even after reverting to WSL1. I had to entirely reinitialize my VMs which took days of work.
I’m curious how the move to WSL2 caused your VMs to shit the bed.
