Microsoft WSL2 - if on Windows Pro - and Debian WSL image. WSL2 is sorted by Microsoft and "just works" on Windows. Debian image can be downloaded from Microsoft Store - there is another way to get images that are distributable round a business but I'm unsure how that works. Debian on WSL has an IRC list and is maintained by a Debian developer as an official image. It's essentially the equivalent of a VM with full access to Windows filesystem and networking.
