There is a WSL2 Debian version: install that and use that instead of Ubuntu (or a Windows dev environment). This should be readily availabe from the Microsoft store. The latest stable version of Debian is 11.6 at the moment: you should update the Debian you download by using apt to do so. Enjoy using Debian.
