This is it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. So as with lots of Microsoft docs, you'll need to read the fine print, because it matters with WSL2. Install WSL first, then upgrade to WSL2. You need the just released Windows 10 2004 version. WSL2 just landed "regular folks" in Windows 10 2004 (20H1). ...and we are moving the thread from it's original intent...
Now, keep in mind that even with WSL, you will run into Python 2 deprecation issues. For instance, I prefer to use Fedora when I use Linux. The next version of Fedora won't have Python 2 as an installable option. So you'll be in the same Python 2 boat. Now, if you choose to run (and pay for) an "Enterprise OS" (cough, cough), you'll be OK, but in 2020 who does that? :trollface: I guess you could run one of the LTS Ubuntu's... I don't have any direct experience with Ubuntu myself.
