Is it really okay to work with Vagrant on Windows?

Question

virtual box

How to work normally in Vagrant on Windows 10? I'm using Laravel Homestead, I'm trying to install bootstrap into my project ( npm i bootstrap -D ) and I'm getting error ETXTBSY. I tried everything - and ran git bash as admin, and added special lines to the Vagrantfile, as it is written on the Laravel website:

If symbolic links are not working properly on your Windows machine, you may need to add the following block to your Vagrantfile :

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
    v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/v-root", "1"]
end

... and ran npm install with the --no-bin-links flag, but nothing helps. What should I do? Does it remain to install Ubuntu along with Windows?

Until WSL appeared in Windows 10, I also worked under Vagrant.
Already deleted everything for the web. You launch WSL, you configure once and the same VDS, only locally and resources are shared with the system. And stopped working - closed the console and "VDS" was killed.
Therefore, my answer is no. Install WSL.
ps the unix socket does not plow there yet, so I run all sorts of php-fpm on tcp sockets.
