To start, we need to install Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows. There is an open source project on GitHub that allows users to not only install a few supported distros on Windows, but also easily switch between them. But that doesn’t mean you can’t run your choice of distro. Officially, Microsoft is sticking to Ubuntu, as it’s the dominant cloud OS. In the Linux world, different distributions use different tools, utilities and commands to perform the same task. This allowed users to install Linux inside Windows 10, offering native integration, which meant users would be literally running Ubuntu command-line tools in Windows.
Then, they worked with Canonical to create a Windows Subsystem for Linux. Microsoft tried to add UNIX capabilities to its own PowerShell, but it didn’t work out as expected. However, as more customers were running Linux, they needed the ability to manage their Linux systems, and Windows 10 lacked Linux tools and utilities. Microsoft itself admits that one out of three machines run Linux in Azure cloud. It’s no secret that Linux dominates the cloud, whether it’s a private cloud running on OpenStack or if it’s AWS or Microsoft Azure cloud.
