> Many devs stuck on Windows use WSL to run Ubuntu for ML/AI work.

"stuck on Windows" is pretty telling here -- if Windows could it would already have replaced Linux ages ago. And it's not by lack of trying that they haven't.

"Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows than on Linux" - how, when the virtual machine running under WSL is literally running a Linux kernel. If anything, it's just another Ubuntu installation. Alternatively, perhaps we should call Windows hosted in a vm on a Linux machine a Linux installation of Windows? I can't even with this nonsense.
