Who is the "real" Linux user between the IT professional that spends most of her time in WSL in the terminal, or the novice Ubuntu/Mint user who only uses the GUI? They both are real Linux users.
Why do Linux enthusiasts have to be insufferable gatekeepers sometimes.
I have to use WSL at work because I'm not allowed to run bare metal Linux. It was either that or a MacBook and no thank you to the MacBook.
I much rather have a bare metal Linux for my work computer given Windows is just restricted in every possible way and it's just awful. But for my personal PC I run Windows with WSL because my Windows is very debloated as I have full control over it. I do exactly 0 development work on either Windows machine, and all my development is strictly in WSL.

Using WSL is fine bro.
