Microsoft, quietly, has published a guide on how to download and install Linux.
No... Seriously... It is not a joke...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
The article was published September 29, 2023 (9 days ago).
The guide provides every option available, too. Starting with using their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), to using a Virtual Machine, and even on "Bare Metal" alongside Windows.
That's right, Microsoft now tells you how to dual-boot Linux. 🤯
@Linux_Is_Best this is just part of the long and very slow journey to dumping the Windows NT kernel and adopting Linux as the kernel for Windows. That's why WSL exists, MS recognises Linux is needed for a lot of real life work and can't obviously dump Windows as we know it now quickly, but they can slowly integrate it with WSL, then move towards having Linux as a kernel with a compatibility layer to run legacy Windows software and eventually dumping it altogether.
Anyway, I may be wrong. But I've had this suspicion for a while.
@gpowerf @Linux_Is_Best
"LSW" already exist...
Linux Kernelsupport for Virtualizing since..?
Plenty years before I heard the 1st time about "WSL"... 🤷♂️
