Can Microslops Winblows spying be mitigated by running everything through WSL?

there’s still the host system
mostly yes. it can even be mostly mitigated without going WSL, since the anti-features can be mostly disabled through group policy and registry hacks.
This would be on a company laptop which I wouldn’t be able to tweak much.
i see. in that case wsl is indeed a good choice
Someone recently wrote an article about how susceptible WSL was to hacks and how it was an excellent attack vector because windows didn’t check it. It was on one of the cyber security communities on Lemmy.
I dont have WSL but based on that article, I assume you can circumvent a lot of winblows crap in WSL. If you can run GUI apps all the better!
