Is it possible to use a machine created on VMware in windows subsytem for Linux?

long story short, im studying networks and we use VMware, to make my life easier, I always ssh into the VM using WSL or CMD, but I figured it could be great if I could just import the machine completely into WSL, can anyone tell me if thats possible? I'd also need to be able to get the updated machine back to VMware later ofcourse. thanks in advance!

Windows are fucked, I'm switching to Linux

After many years (and problems) using Windows, unstable OS, TONS of blue screens, crashes ect. I finally decided to switch to Linux, after spending for another time 3+ hours trying to find WHY THE FUCK IM GETTING A "Automatic Repair" LOOP. I tried everything:

Restarting

Closing it and opening it again (it's not the same as restarting)

changing settings in bios (because I thought that the problem CANT BE AGAIN WITH WINDOWS)

Opening Windows in "safe" (HA) mode

Trying Windows "repair"

Trying to run commands in command prompt in order to fix possible drive issues

Reading every single article, Forum/Reddit post

Watching every single YouTube video

I tried every setting in the crappy window that pops up when there is a problem and Windows can't boot up (usually when it has full moon and the time that it has passed since last time Windows crashes divided by 3, is less than the million's of dollars that Microsoft makes every day (I know, it was a bad joke)), but guess what,

I tried to uninstall updates, but guess what,

I even tried to reset Windows, but guess what,

WINDOWS DINT FUCKING LET ME

People (including myself) complaining about Windows bugs all the time and Microsoft does nothing to fix them. That was not the first time that I had problems with Windows but you know what?
It was the last one, after I'm done writing this post I'm gonna install Linux (most likely Ubuntu).

I have read a little bit about Linux and everything looks good to me.
It's open source, free, simple, has few/none bugs, big companies run their servers on Linux because is more stable (imaging Windows taking down all Google's servers because Cortana wanted to send private data to Microsoft LOL), you can pretty much customise everything and it has a great community.

I have only 2 questions for you:

What problems do you had with Windows before switch to Linux?

What a Linux user can do, that a Windows user can't?

I'm writing this from mobile now.
Thanks Windows.

How do I make a custom Mint live USB?

So I got Linux Mint on a live USB, easy enough. But now I’d like to have a custom Linux Mint live USB with my system preferences, maybe some applications, a lockscreen, etc. I’ve googled, but most guides are for Debian or Ubuntu.

What’s the simplest way to do this? I’m guessing installing Mint, customize it, then make it into a bootable ISO somehow?
