Other than the fs performance issue, I also encountered some network problems with wsl2 when accessing a VPN network or even just the host network.

I think the idea of wsl should be integrating Linux to Windows natively. Otherwise, why not just use a VM with a real Linux? But wsl2 is off this principle, as the network is separated as NAT; the fs is separated as ext4; a real Linux kernel might be also running somewhere... Everything are just like VM in wsl2.
