As an intermediate, install windows on the insiders channel, though update 20h1/2004 should be out soon for GA.

I had to jump into windows for a few things last month, and WSL2 on windows has become pretty good and bearable, the Docker beta support for WSL2 also really good... seems to use a bit more memory than I recall. But linux cli with a Windows GUI has been surprisingly bearable... Remote (wsl/ssh) extensions for VS Code invaluable as well.

You are saying the alternate to probably the most used developer setup is a combination of multiple beta release channels?

I am suggesting trying a software-only alternative to buying another laptop.
