Comparing with WSL2

• Pro
  • Allow maximum performance when using physical machine
  • Have Native GUI which can be accessed using VirtualBox
  • Native disk operation performance under virtual machine
• Con
  • No app optimization and support in Windows, e.g. vscode, cuda (but vscode has ssh feature, and you have native linux cuda under physical machine)
  • Mapped file in RAM is not managed by Windows, naturally, thus requiring a larger RAM (Your RAM stores mapped files from both host Windows and VM Linux now)
• Even
  • Other performance under windows, e.g disk operation across systems (using SMB)
