Nobody stays in Linux for the GUIs? Heck if it purely a GUI decision I'd move away from the horror of Linux, the fact that the best "GUI" being told are TUI tells you more than enough of what people's priorities on Linux are.
I would switch over to WSL in a heartbeat if speeds were 60-80% of bare Linux (cpu/memory) and every other subsystem was interoperable / accessible with Windows (cough network) which was my main issue with WSL, anything that wanted to run services was a disaster in WSL (DB/exposing port to host/etc).
GUI of what?
For example, you can't pry KDE out of my cold, dead hands, ever. The capabilities of the desktop and the standard KDE installation blows anything I have used out of water easily.
We (as in Linux users, sysadmins and devs) love our TUIs because they work transparently over SSH. I have more than 100 servers which I reach regularly. I neither want to install a full graphical user interface, nor forward it to my desktop to manage them.
If you want to discuss this, I'm chill & all ears.
