Microsoft made its Azure support several popular Linux distributions long ago, but for the average consumer, the real change came with Windows 10.
At an event in 2015, the third Microsoft CEO said "Microsoft Loves Linux!", announcing that Microsoft, the biggest enemy of the open source world, officially embraced the largest operating system in the open source world: Linux.
In fact, in the field of cloud computing, Microsoft made its Azure support many popular Linux distributions a long time ago, but for ordinary consumers, the real change happened in Windows 10: Microsoft announced that it will build Linux in Windows 10. , and the technology used is not the so-called "virtualization" technology - that is to say, the Linux of this subsystem is completely natively running on Windows 10.
And Microsoft named this Linux system: Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) feature in Windows 10 enables anyone to run native Linux command-line tools, as well as traditional Windows desktop and modern Microsoft Store apps, directly on Windows.
Now, Microsoft has open sourced a key part of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which will allow any distribution maintainer to build WSL distribution packages for the Microsoft Store. Developers can also create custom Linux distributions on their Windows 10 machines for sideloading.
