Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows Windows users to install a Linux distro (several downloadable from the Windows Store) and WSL 2 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-index) recently arrived. There's mad bit of satisfaction in being able to do this and it's useful. I was able to work on a Python/Linux stack project and other developers on the team were using WSL too. You can even open a WSL terminal in VS Code.
