Great question. For things like yarn or nvm I only install those in WSL. That being said, that’s for my specific use case. If you need node or yarn for any Windows node development (such as developing an Electron app) you would need to have those dependencies installed in Windows and have your code living in the Windows Filesystem, you wouldn’t use WSL at all in that case. That being said most people doing standard web development, it’s not likely they’ll need to install any of that in Windows and WSL, they could just live in WSL.
