Run professional software like fusion 360, Adobe suite and much more.

Use Wsl to get a lot of the benefits of linux

Fusion 360 actually works under Linux with Bottles. Some other Autodesk products also have native Linux versions.

I've put more work into getting wsl to work at work than I have my home linux machines. it's just so unreliable for some reason. I ended up just giving up and running a full vm instead, and it's so much nicer since I can just pretend windows doesn't exist

Especially when enabling wsl is incompatible with running a VM. I want to run VM not only for Linux! Yeah just installing a full vm is better.
