Windows Subsystem for Linux

Star

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine, or dualboot setup.

You can:

  • Choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store.
  • Run common command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, or other ELF-64 binaries.
  • Run Bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications including:
    • Tools: vim, emacs, tmux
    • Languages: NodeJS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, C/C++, C# & F#, Rust, Go, etc.
    • Services: SSHD, MySQL, Apache, lighttpd, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.
    • Install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager.
    • Invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell.
    • Invoke GNU/Linux applications on Windows.

      I've already heard opinions like: "I can not use this on the enterpise." or "This other sudo is just a few lines RunAs script that I can audit myself." (Sure, but building a feature-rich sudo takes far more lines than that.) and the next one probably will be: "I won't run as administrator something from a nobody on the internet."

      This is a trust problem. And I cannot create trust by myself.
