Want to run Linux tools and environments directly on your Windows machine without the hassle of dual-booting or virtual machines? Enter WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)! This guide will get you started with this amazing feature.
WSL lets you choose from various Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, all available directly from the Microsoft Store. Once installed, you can access a fully functional Linux terminal and utilize all your favorite command-line tools and utilities.
Why use WSL? It's perfect for developers who need access to Linux-specific tools for web development, scripting, or system administration. It's also a fantastic learning tool if you're new to Linux.
Getting started is easy. Simply search for 'Turn Windows features on or off' in your start menu, enable 'Windows Subsystem for Linux,' and then download your preferred distribution from the Microsoft Store. Embrace the best of both worlds with WSL!
