user@linux:~$ uname -r
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, is a Linux environment directly on Windows. This interacts directly with the host operating system, removing virtual machine overhead and doesn’t require you two dualboot.
WSL can be installed by: * Opening the Microsoft Store * Searching for a Linux Distribution * Example: Ubuntu * Following installation * Rebooting
Many computer enthusiasts like using Linux command line tools that are not available on Windows, but have to use Windows for productivity, professional, and gaming software. WSL Provides a Linux away from Linux so you can have it all.
