Activate the WSL
By default, you cannot use WSL.
Instead, you must activate WSL as an optional Windows feature.
Install a Distribution
Launch the Windows Store and select a distribution to install.
So you’ll need to attend to normal Linux housekeeping.
Start with updating the distribution according to the system’s architecture.
For example, Debian and Ubuntu useapt.
For example, you’re free to execute thetopcommandto check out system performance.
What’s Under the Hood?
It’s actually a Linux distribution running normally on your PC thanks to the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The WSL is the “secret sauce” that allows Linux software to run on Windows.
