WSL is interesting because it manages to simultaneously offer everything a Linux user would want while also actually capable of none of what a Linux user would need it to do. Weird compatibility issues, annoying filesystem mappings that make file manipulation a pain, etc

In a Windows environment I've found it honestly works better to either ssh into a Linux machine or learn the PowerShell way of doing it than to work through WSL's quirks
