I know that WSL2 is a good development environment for Windows but I am interested to see if a Nix VM might be better.

Probably unlikely. The only way it might be better (for now) is if you need to use something that uses the GUI.

But with native x forwarding coming soon to WSL2, you'll get the same experience soon enough (given that WSL2 is a separate VM running in Hyper-V already).
