If you need IIS, I doubt that you can get away without virtualisation.
The easiest path is to use something like VMWare Workstation and run Windows as a VM. You can pin Visual Studio to the sidebar, and click to run it like it was made-for-Linux app (i.e. Unity mode).
If you just need IIS (and can use MonoDevelop / Xamarin Studio) as an IDE (or just VS Code for newer stuff), then you can host IIS in a Windows Server Core in a virtual machine (less hardware requirements compared to the first option).
