Nice article!

I'm always in doubt: in a Windows computer without a powerful GPU, is it better to run the local models in WSL2 or directly in Windows? Does that fact that is an ARM machine makes any difference?




I found WSL2 to have similar performance to native Windows. The only slowdown is loading files from the Windows side via /mnt/ which goes across the VM boundary. Move the files to the Linux side and it’s good.


Is it hard to just benchmark it each way and find out objectively yourself?
