Someone recently wrote an article about how susceptible WSL was to hacks and how it was an excellent attack vector because windows didn't check it. It was on one of the cyber security communities on Lemmy.

I dont have WSL but based on that article, I assume you can circumvent a lot of winblows crap in WSL. If you can run GUI apps all the better!
