Kai MastGot a new laptop and decided to give Window a chance before wiping it. Getting WSL to resemble my terminal workflow on Arch has been a pain so far, but it seems to work fairly well now.
To change the taskbar size I have to nagivate through regedit and reboot(?). Windows 11 feels more like 95 sometimes.
WSL2 is a lot better than WSL1, which frequently caused blue screens for me back in the day.
However, it still seems to have memory management issues that make it unpleasant to use. The screenshot below is after closing all my terminal windows. It went down from ~10gb to ~4gb, but that is extremely high for a bare-bones Linux install.

The adventure continues: Windows 11 has no native way to install new keyboard layouts. Had to go to some random person's GitHub repo and run their installer with admin permissions...

Side note: This is by far the best keyboard layout if you need to type in other (western) languages and also write code.
