https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh - (WINDOWS ONLY): WSL. This installs the WSL support for Visual Studio Code, which will install WSL itself (And Ubuntu).

This is a long install, take your time.
PLEASE MAKE SURE WSL IS ACTUALLY INSTALLED - Try running it. Check this example:

Terminal
- A terminal. On Linux and Mac, it's just called "Terminal". Little familiarity with it is required. On windows, the WSL installs it.
- The ssh command. It's installed by default on Mac and Linux, and should be on Windows after the aforementioned steps.
