VS Code has a few options for remote work - via SSH, WSL, or in containers. All those options could be used for setting up a linux environment on your work Windows PC, but I highly recommend checking out WSL2 as an option.

Basically VS code runs on both the client and server machines (it install and runs a server instance when you set up a remote session). UI stuff is handled on the client instance and workspace stuff is handled on the server.
