If you want to use it as WSL, I'd say Ubuntu. It's not my favourite distro, but what's run under WSL is fairly approximate anyway, and Ubuntu is going to have the most support.

If you want to run it standalone, it honestly doesn't matter what distro you get but Gnome is probably the simplest desktop environment, or XFCE if you want something more like the classic Windows XP look and feel.
