Why wouldn't we support wsl? It's just linux

Node doesn't support WSL without some extra work:
The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not supported, but the GNU/Linux build process and binaries should work. .... Running the Windows binary (node.exe) in WSL will not work without workarounds such as stdio redirection. ↩

I cannot recommend this, but we do support it

Running natively was in the original text:

I edited the wording to align it to Node's supported platforms (WSL is problematic, as per the prior comment).
If that wasn't the intent, I'm happy to revert that change, just let me know.

Why is WSL problematic, since it's just linux, and linux is fully supported?

WSL is "problematic" because Node doesn't support running on WSL; they will not accept any bug reports for WSL-only issues. The Linux Node binaries should run, but there is no guarantee.
A workaround is to run the Windows binaries (e.g., node.exe) and use stdio redirection (">", "|", etc.) to keep any output in the WSL.
