> WSL won't save you from MS forcing updates down your throat

There was only one corporate laptop running windows 10 I've encountered during the pandemic that does not use policy to disable automatic updates and that is Microsoft. In my experience, everyone who pays for Windows Enterprise blocks automatic updates.

I think Windows Home still can't into Hyper-V and therefore you have to go through hoops to install WSL 2 and docker, right?

Windows Home doesn't haven proper access to Hyper-V, but installing WSL 2 is relatively easy (and documented); Microsoft made special provisions for that. You can't use Docker to run Windows containers, but Linux containers (using WSL 2) seems to work fine.
