I forgot to mentioned why I left Windows definitly. I'm mostly PHP developer (a fullstack dev) so I had Laravel Valet running in WSL and 90% of times had issues of 502 errors from ngnix and the point it was annoying and the best approach was using a native Linux distro.
As I saidm if you are using WSL for JavaScript development it will run smoothly without any issues 👌
From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.
What issues did you run into with js? Most anything with node_modules was resolved years ago and the pnp thing with yarn is pretty sweet once tooling support is up-to-date.
With Node and JavaScript none.
My issue were with PHP, I was using Laravel Valet WSL as a virtual machine host to have a local PHP dev env without to much steps.

As I sad, with JS there is no problem using WSL
It's just confusing you conflated WSL with JS when it works just fine on Windows as well.
