NixOS for the Impatient
I have not used it but this might be what you are looking for: https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL
You could also install the nix package manager on Ubuntu.

Easy and reproducible WSL distributions, with home-manager and Alpine linux
This project began as I didn't like that NixOS-WSL used systemd in the background, so I made this for myself. Some of the advantages: faster boot time, smaller image size and a FHS distro in the background, that lets you load dynamically linked binaries (for example, to have VSCode remote working OOTB).

About using Nix in my development workflow
There's a community port of NixOS to WSL2, complete with systemd support, plus Docker Desktop support and some other goodies: https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL
Nix also works on other WSL distros, provided they're using WSL2.
Nix supports cross-compiling Windows binaries as well. I know some people use it for that.
There is no 'native' support— you can't use Nix as an alternative to Winget or Chocolatey on Windows. Right now a lot of important stuff in Nixpkgs depends on a POSIX shell and Unix coreutils implementation for the basic build environment, and that's shared between many operating systems. Trying to fit Windows into that doesn't really make s sense, and there's not really any momentum behind the idea of using any particular other runtime environment (could be a scripting language instead of a shell + coreutils) for those basic builders.
But it's conceivable that some day, one or more companies using Nix on WSL might see vaiue in taking that extra step and put together a Nix-based package collection for Windows and help get the Nix Windows port out the door.

Build a temporary package to get started, iron out deps and learn how things work...
Basically, I managed to get NixOS inside WSL2 by using this: https://github.com/Trundle/NixOS-WSL

does nixos-wsl work in vscode with the wsl extension:
But whenever I try running code . with nixos-wsl(https://github.com/Trundle/NixOS-WSL), the error: `code: command not found` is thrown, also, whenever I try to open nixos-wsl from vscode, it does not work and the terminal throws a bunch of errors?

The first conformant M1 GPU driver

I don't advise just running Mathias' config as is, but read through it and see if anything seems to be something you want in yours, make the changes, and save it somewhere for the next time you're setting up a Mac.
There's some stuff in there about speeding up certain animations (look for `# Speed up Mission Control animations`), and about not reordering "spaces" (desktops, full-screen apps, search for `# Don’t automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use`) based on use which I think may also affect cmd+tab ordering? Not sure, but it's a setting I always change anyway because the default doesn't make sense for power users.
About the trolling thing, sorry, I was genuinely not sure if you were arguing in good faith or just making stuff up, as most of the things you were saying were just plain incorrect or dishonest, from comparing desktop computer performance to low-powered laptops, to incorrect statements about features macOS truly excels at.

How to create a dotfile for all your Mac system preferences
Another resource is the .macos script from Mathias Bynens' dotfiles, which is the repo from the person in the article who gave the method for uncovering such system settings.

macOS Ventura is now available
I added a PR to fix rsync, mosh, and some other tools, since they will be broken out of the box.
But it seems this project has fallen behind on PRs.
If you would like to have this fix, you can do this after cloning the repo:
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles && cd dotfiles
