For Windows a quick win is to install VMware Workstation Pro (which is free) and install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as a VM.

Broadcom bought VMware then released Workstation Pro for free and I don't think they kept the download link but you can get from TechPowerUp:

You can then let LLMs on YOLO mode inside it.

What is the advantage of using VMware Workstation Pro for this as opposed to using WSL2?

Windows has the WSL for native Linux vms, these days (and also the past ~decade)
