Since WSL 2 basically is the Linux kernel tacked on to Windows it is going to be vulnerable to Linux viruses.

So....you’re saying....when Microsoft does Linux, it ceases to be secure. Hmmm.....\

It's easy to spin up a Linux VM using WSL2. If you do that, you need to spend the time to secure the new OS running inside WSL2. It presents a whole new attack surface and a platform for attacking the host. Toss in some Docker (podman) containers, and there is plenty of room for mischief.

I still can’t see the appeal of running Linux on Windows when dual-booting is relatively easy using the real deal (in over a dozen variants). Now we have a perfectly good reason to avoid this novelty altogether.
