So I’ve recently been interested in doing a complete switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I’ve been playing around with WSL2 in Windows quite a bit and I have to admit I am pretty impressed with their implementation.
However, one of the reasons I’ve been drawn to Linux these days is the privacy aspect, and I’m looking to get everyone’s thoughts on whether using Linux apps in WSL improves your privacy at all, or do I need to just flat out get off windows to get any sort of privacy benefit. My plan is to eventually get off Windows completely, but I guess I’m wondering if WSL is a good middle ground.
If I have to use Windows then WSL is fine, otherwise I’d always use Linux.
As far as privacy is concerned, if it’s running on Windows then WSL is not going to help.
I’d suggest that good middle ground would be installing Linux and running Windows in a VM.
