Should beginners work with WSL?

[אורי]

Hi,

I'm using git bash - by installing Git for Windows, I get a bash shell with
most of the commands I need from Linux, and I can run it also when not
related to git. For example diff, awk, etc.

Also if for some reason I need a real Linux machine, I can SSH to one of my
Ubuntu servers, and run my command remotely from there.

I never had a need to run a Linux app that is not a shell command on my
desktop.
