I use firefox on Linux for a pragmatic reason actually: it has a better font rendering than Chrom(ium). On my 4K screen I've started to notice that, with all the fixes for it to work right on Wayland, the fonts are still somewhat blurry. I googled and apparently some experts say that Chrome breaks some font rendering rules, on linux. On Windows I guess it isn't an issue since people wound surely notice.

WSL2 runs at close-to-native or native speed when you limit your work to terminal. However beyond that: - I oftentimes need to run some GUI linux apps from inside the WSL2 -> and scaling (needed on a 4K screen) is really troublesome. No need to say that fractional scaling is nonexistent. - when logging to a remote machine (from WSL2) via ssh with X forwarding, and launching GUI apps remotely, the lags are so bad that it is hardly workable even on an ultra-fast network connection to the remote machine. Different from that, everything is butter smooth from a native Linux. - when I needed to create a user with a specific user ID (not 1000) I found that it somehow does not work full in WSL2, whereas it is just a stanard thing for a dedicated Linux. - there are very few, if any, any answers on the Internet about the issues above, I guess because the community of people using WSL2 the way I need is minuscule. The best tactics is to reach the WSL team directly ... and hope they fix some of the issues in the next build. So I fiddled with WSL2 for about a month and ditched it for a regular dual boot with Linux (and didn't boot into Win11 since then)
