What’s the speed or latency like? Is it very resource intensive running Ubuntu inside of Windows like that?
depends on your application. WSL overhead can be as low as 1% or as high as 90%. most heavy compute is done on the cloud these days (including claude CLI/codex inference), so locally you likely won’t notice if you’re not short on RAM. some of that worst case performance comes from interaction between Linux and Windows filesystems, so avoid that.
