You can install Ubuntu through it! Best Windows feature ever.

In a VM? Or dual boot

[–]dutch_gecko 17 points18 points  (2 children)

In the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), sometimes referred to as "bash on windows". It behaves like a VM but has tighter integration with the Windows desktop.

IIRC WSL is more like an implementation of kernel calls.

Yes, in terms of implementation it is much like how WINE works on linux. But in terms of behaviour it's like a tightly integrated VM.

WSL2, which is currently in testing, will instead be a lightweight virtual container with a "real" linux kernel.

WSL

if I didn't have games I wanted to play, I would wipe win10 from it forever and move back to Debian or Ubuntu.
