Personally I'm a fan of wsl, it has let me dip my toes and transition slowly into the environment, enough so over the last 4 years that this weekend im wiping windows from everything I control. Windows does nothing but bring me pain at this point.
"Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows than on Linux" - how, when the virtual machine running under WSL is literally running a Linux kernel. If anything, it's just another Ubuntu installation. Alternatively, perhaps we should call Windows hosted in a vm on a Linux machine a Linux installation of Windows? I can't even with this nonsense.

"stuck on Windows" is pretty telling here -- if Windows could it would already have replaced Linux ages ago. And it's not by lack of trying that they haven't.
I wouldn't want ubuntu on bare metal anyway tbh. There was a time I loved it (I still have CDs I used to get!) But that time is long gone.
