Janne, it is pitty we can't add disappointment smiles.
Your comment is very inaccurate, subjective and dislike kind of (someone called "alarmist") with a lot of "one man said, people has" .. these are just rumors. You also comment someone is ignoring "facts"...well, if you want to criticize, just provide facts, e.g. performance impact and comparison charts.
Community doesn't care about feelings, if you put such a comment please state the facts together with evidence, otherwise do not hoax people.
WSL2 has nothing to do with anticheat
of course, any VM running on your PC actively affects performance of games, as both consume CPU cores, memory and IO system - you if wanna play just issue wsl --shutdown
yes, WSL2 is built on Hyper-V...what would you expect on Windows? Hyper-V is native MS virtualization platform with best performance you can get out of Windows
Hyper-V doesn't prevent VirtualBox, it is virtualization mechanism difference which causes mutual exclusivity of both tools (usually BIOS setting) ... good exlanation here superuser.com/a/1208857
Cygwin is definitely good piece of stuff, I've been using it 10 years ago, however uncomparable to WSL2, which is true nix kernel and disro
most of the popular nix distros are available via WSL2, if not, you will find then on gitHub (e.g. Alpine), if not, you can run them on Hyper-V (blog.qinnovate.biz/permalink/27bd5...)
MS doesn't care too much about VirtualBox or VmWare, obviously, as well as Oracle doesn't care about Windows products...
VBox and VmWare on Hyper-V will have performance penalty always - cause different hypervision levels used and middle layer added ... this is JUST usability improvment
Say I should put "facts together with evidence" and then spout some utter nonsense. Nice attempt to raise the dead - this thread is from eons ago, but you're still wrong and sound like a fanboy.

[EDIT] - not sure what OS you're running and if you are talking about WSL2. I'm Windows11 and Ubuntu on WSL2 and I fairly satisfied.
