About

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a powerful way for you to run your Linux command-line tools, utilities and applications, all unmodified and directly on Windows without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup.

You can install WSL right away by running this command inside of your Windows command line:

wsl --install

You can learn more about best practices for setup, overviews of WSL and more at our WSL documentation page.

WSL also has related open source repositories:

WSL
这是什么东西?Windows Subsystem for Linux(适用于 Linux 的 Windows 子系统):一种在 Windows 上直接原样运行 Linux 命令行工具、实用程序和应用程序的方式,无需传统虚拟机的开销,也不用设置双系统。
那它是一个完整的虚拟机,还是更轻量的东西?更轻量:WSL 是一个子系统,让你的 Linux 工具直接运行在 Windows 上——没有需要管理的虚拟机,也不需要重启切换到另一个操作系统。这个仓库存放的就是 WSL 本身的开源代码。
我怎么把它装起来?在 Windows 命令行里输入一条命令就能装好:wsl --install。关于设置的最佳实践和整体介绍,README 指向了 WSL 文档页面(aka.ms/wsldocs)。
我需要提前准备什么吗?比如 Linux 镜像、VirtualBox 或其他下载?这些都不需要:安装只需一条命令,而且 Linux 内核本身就随 WSL 一起提供,来自配套的 microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel 仓库。
它能运行 Linux 图形界面应用吗,还是只能在终端里用?它的核心是命令行工具、实用程序和应用程序,但图形界面应用也支持:WSL 中的图形 Linux 应用由配套的 microsoft/WSLg 仓库负责。
WSL 会把我的数据发给 Microsoft 吗?会,默认情况下该应用会记录基本的诊断遥测数据,这些数据可能会发送给 Microsoft,不过 README 说明可以按照仓库中的描述关闭遥测。
WSL 是免费的吗?是的——这个仓库基于 MIT 许可证开源,安装和使用 WSL 完全免费。
这个项目成熟吗?它是 Microsoft 的一个成熟项目:仓库创建于 2016 年 4 月,大约有 34,000 个 star。
What are similar projects?nvx, WSL2-Linux-Kernel, wslg, TurboBench, winget-cli, graphrag, edit, CopyQ
