Your serial might have worked, but your docker didn’t. (And someone else’s other drivers didn’t, and mmapping had ever-so-slightly different semantics causing rare and hard to reproduce issues).
WSL2, on the whole, is much more compatible. If you want 100% Linux compatibility, just run Linux.
I do. That's why I didn't know the current answer to the question. But I use software that wants to talk to hardware, not just cloud software that might as well be on a vps.
Calling gcc (which runs entirely happily in WSL2) "cloud software that might as well be on a vps" is at the same time accurate and apparently insulting.
