I run a 100% Linux household for my personal devices. However, work does not allow the use of Linux devices, which is why I have this question. I am permitted to use WSL.
Just run the Windows device using wired internet on a different (and isolated) subnet from everything else of yours and turn off wifi and bluetooth on it. Use a wired headset or a dedicated dongle like Jabra has for their headsets. That would prevent it from identifying other devices nearby.
Beyond that, just don’t do any personal shit on your work device. If you’re providing your own Windows work device, then do it in a VM as already said.
If your workplace allows WSL, then the main benefit is you could use more familiar software/tools through it. Your workplace is likely to be doing a hell of a lot more data collection than Microsoft anyway.

That’s fair. And probably the only good answer, lol.
If it’s for work, don’t worry about it. That’s their problem.
not entirely since I work from home 🤣
