Why not use WSL?

You get all the benefits of a Windows machine (printing and whatever pre-installed software will just work) and a Linux environment.

Because that also gives you all the problems of having a Windows machine at the bottom (so to speak): bloat, intrusive updates, bugs, viruses etc. And the IT-department will constantly be on your ass with some new configuration and program that they have decided is what you need :). If you want to combine Windows tools with GNU/Linux, having the latter at the bottom is a way better solution imo.
