Virtual machines are also an option, especially if you want to toy around and play with different distro's.
WLS2 is really nice if you just want to play around with Linux command line, but VM's and live booting distro's off a USB can be another fun way to play around and get familiar with the ecosystem. Desktop flavors like Gnome, XFCE, Cinnamon, KDE, and the many more (not to mention the whole world of window tiling managers that exist) make Linux such a great a fun place to be!
Nice. Gentoo is really good. So is Fedora. I've been using Manjaro as my daily driver for a few years and am totally in love. Playing around with differnt distrobutions and seeing what they have to offer is one of the things that's so fun and great about the linux ecosystem. So many different flavors, you get to experiment around and see what one works best for you. It's also something that can feel quite overwhelming for a lot of people, so vm's and live usb's are a great way to get ease into the ecosystem.
Always remember:
With root power, comes root responsiblity.

Nah, just ditch Windows and move to Linux ;) Lmao

"live booting distro's off a USB"
Yeah, this is how I have been learning with a few coworkers. We are starting with Gentoo and working through the handbook to install it.
I'll eventually work on some easier Linux distros (I think we are going to do Fedora) and try out a VM so I know how to do all of those things :)
