Am a young programmer from Ghana, having just switched from the world of System Administration and Networking, I am enjoying this journey so far and can't wait to take my place in it.
In my case, I use WSL as development server machine. I have Docker, Postgres, MySQL , MongoDB and all those stuff which are much easier to get installed on Linux than in Windows inside WSL. And even better, I have totally isolated environments. There's no server stuff in my personal machine that I use for common tasks, just the IDE.
I avoid to keep my Windows installation bloated with services starting automatically. I start WSL on-demand.
