The Windows Subsystem for Linux is bridging the divide between Windows and Linux by letting you run Windows 10 programs directly within a Linux shell.

Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can launch Linux applications directly in a Windows 10 command prompt or PowerShell prompt.

This is not a drill. Thanks to WSL, you can now run a virtual instance of Arch Linux.

Why switch to Linux? More security, more privacy, and freedom from vendor lock-in. And these distributions are as simple to install and use as MacOS or Windows.
