Description

Windows Subsystem for Linux is a built-in optional feature of Windows 10 that allows users to run Linux command-line tools, utilities, and applications directly on their Windows machines without the need for a virtual machine or a dual-boot installation. With this feature, users can enjoy a seamless integration of Windows and Linux environments and take advantage of both operating systems� strengths.

Windows Subsystem for Linux supports multiple Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, and Kali Linux, among others. Users can download and install these distributions from the Microsoft Store, and once installed, they can use popular command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, and more. Additionally, users can run Linux-based applications, including web servers, databases, and development environments, directly on their Windows machines. Windows Subsystem for Linux is a powerful tool for developers, system administrators, and users who want to combine the power of two operating systems.
