Fair one if it's improved but it still feels on par with WSL2 for user experience, some people like that I guess. A vanilla linux laptop just seems better imho but I've not played with one for a while, I admit.
WSL2 has significantly worse experience IME. The ChromeOS Linux VM takes like 10 seconds to launch initially, but after that I haven't observed any latency.
Meanwhile, the same dev stack running in WSL2 has noticeable latency e.g. seconds of extra delay launching any containerized Python interpreter (on a powerful Windows desktop workstation, too).
