Linux is the solution
Lots of free solitaire games for Windows without ads. I don’t see what’s to gain by using wsl just to play solitaire though.
Who said anything about wsl? That still leaves the ick on your drive.
You have a choice between Linux and a hot pile of garbage with a Linux VM on top and you don’t see what’s to gain?
My dude, when’s the last time you visited an optician? You might be blind and did not notice it yet.
So basically defender is going to look like dodgy malware
There are plenty of Solitaire games out there aside from MS Solitaire, including free and open source ones. I think PySolFC fits that bill quite well, a huge collection of Solitaire games available for Windows (and other platforms, Linux included of course).
Or KPatience if you use Linux. It’s even preinstalled if you use KDE, which I do.
for a add free vesion of solitaire i suggest you take a look here: https://itch.io/search?q=solitaire
And itch has an desktop app for the ones who dont know like my classmate, makes the game library easier to manageI just plat kpat instead. You can run it on windows through WSL.
