If you haven't been exposed to it Windows built a WSL feature you can add in using feature add tool. WSL2 is basically now a VM. You the install the Linux distro of your choosing via a few commands.The W11 version uses an internal remote desktop protocol so you can run graphical Linux apps on Windows. (W10 you can with some monkeying around).
Basically many MS devs wanted to access Linux without leaving their Windows environment, plus Microsoft has various Linux systems in use these days, so made sense for them to be able to work directly in it at times.
