Interesting, but if I have to use Windows then I would consider Conda depending on my dependency situation.

I don’t particularly like Conda, or Windows, but what I like even less is manually finding wheels for my project. For something like GDAL, I wouldn’t even try on Windows without Conda. I think it’s also easy for a beginner to get up and running with this setup.

My preferred setup is pyenv on Linux with poetry :)

I'd say use WSLv2, myself.

I’ve had a particularly difficult time with CUDA/Pytorch in WSL. Also with Windows not reclaiming memory…

But don’t get me wrong, WSL has helped a lot when I’ve needed to use Windows at work.

Oh my. Yeah. I don't Windows except to test tools so, that's not surprising.
