I'm in the process of solving this problem by running Windows 11, setting up Hyper-V, and then installing Linux Mint as a Hyper-V session. This works amazingly well.
My son (who does AI development for his job) had me install WSL in order to get Claude Code working; this turned out to be unnecessary as Claude now has a Win11 native install. Not sure if the Claude Code app requires Win11.
I use CityDesk for web development (developed decades ago for an XP target but works fine under Win10); Paint Shop Pro 8 is my preferred graphics editor, which doesn't really work well under Windows 11 or WINE, so I'm thinking of setting up another Hyper-V session for Windows 10.
