Q: How do I run Linux in Windows?
📺 https://youtu.be/qMl985TbUrY
- Install MS Windows Terminal first
- Do you want graphics with that (or just a terminal)?
- Install WSL2 and use that (probably should install anyway)
- Install a virtual machine (VirtualBox)
- Install Docker Desktop or Minikube and then any Linux container
- Using a VM or container allows you to fully experiment
Also rans:
- Cygwin is not Linux
- mingw is not Linux
- Git-Bash is not Linux
- Not “dual booted” (not “in” Windows)
