I'd welcome you back myself Kip, but I'm on a bit of hiatus from CoCo 
stuff myself atm. Haven't touched a CoCo or listened to a podcast for 
well over a year I don't think. Life just got in the way...

Have you looked in to WSL & WSL2?

I installed Ubuntu under WSL on a Win10 laptop a while back for work and 
IMHO it's a far, far better option than dual-boot, VMs or Cygwin (ughhh 
what a bodgy PITA).

Good luck!
