I've started to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for my basic Linux needs. For things like compiling, it gets the job done without needing a VM.
I tried that with ubuntu and WSL, but still no dice for me. Oh also, my Mint distro is on and old laptop that I never use, not a VM. Maybe that is why my luck was better?

You definitely can't beat a genuine Linux installation. Was your problem installing pacman? If so, you have to first use "sudo ln -s /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab" to create a symlink for the /etc/mtab folder since WSL doesn't create one.

I had actually followed a guide for Ubuntu on Windows 10 with wsl, specifically written to help with compiling reinx. It had that step. I did it, but didn't work. I'll just keep old slowpoke around. (Asus Eeepc 900a)

I had a problem getting it to work the first time I tried it too. No idea why. In the end, I'm pretty sure I just deleted the symlink, restarted bash, and remade it. For whatever reason, it worked just fine the second time.
