For me that opens up new avenues by way of +borg special remotes (borg support on Windows is very lacking and there are no recent binaries for it). +I still think git -- and to a lesser extent git-annex -- is performant enough on native Windows, so I'm +going to continue using it that way for those repos that need to be foolproof and in a supported configuration. +But for more experimental uses WSL1 still holds quite some promise wrt git-annex. DrvFs is still many times faster +than 9p of WSL2 *for Windows native files on NTFS* which is an important use case for exchanging data between +Windows and POSIXland. In fact while WSL2 boots incredibly fast for a Hyper-V virtual machine, in many file-level +use cases it can't hold candle to the almost seamless nature of WSL1. The latter has its warts in API compatibility +but in my mind it's quite a undervalued little performer. I hope Microsoft doesn't remove it too soon in favor of WSL2. +"""]]
