WSL + Windows Terminal is enough for 90% of what I need to do. I say this as someone who uses Linux on all my personal machines. You'll even get WSL automatically these days if you install Docker Desktop for Windows. The most annoying part, for me, is having to double-install certain tools both inside and outside of WSL (e.g. having to install git or openjdk twice). But it's a comparatively minor irritation, given how much better WSL2 works in general than previous solutions.
