Do you mean Ubuntu LTS which run though VirtualBox/WSL? It should work.
I mean the Ubuntu LTS that requires enabling the WSL. But, going through a virtual box seems better, I hadn't thought of it.

usually you need a fully synced, unpruned node, running with txindex=1... and you set the "network" type in electrumx and then point it at the appropriate data directory.
Since it creates its own index, is there a reason why I should “carry” the entire blockchain? Also, are these things detailed on the documentation or I should use the search button whenever I have a similar query? I just want to know if it's a complicated setup.

peer discovery is also explained in the ElectrumX docs: https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Nice, thanks.
