As a contractor WSL2 is a boon if you have to use a firm supplied laptop - just install WSL2 and windows terminal, both of which are from Microsoft so its all kosher from a security theatre point of view.
You then have a standard terminal and Ubuntu environment wherever you go, and have some niceties like being able to call windows apps from Linux, and be able to run windows junk like netsh from bash and process its output.
