    Better in which way? WSL2 is a VM running ALONGSIDE Windows, not inside. Its performance is basically bare metal. If you have enough RAM, there is no reason to use cygwin instead of WSL2.

      In that case why don’t you just run a VM or install bare metal. WSL strips you of control just like Windows itself does.
