Ubuntu on Windows — The Ubuntu Userspace for Windows Developers
Dustin Kirkland of Canonical writes about one of Windows 10’s recent feature additions, the ability to run Ubuntu natively. This was announced at Build 2016, a recent Microsoft conference. Dustin confirms, “An Ubuntu user space and bash shell, running natively in a Windows 10 cmd.exe console!” Dustin gives a short tutorial on how to do it, answers some questions that might come up, and ends by stating, “From Microsoft’s perspective, a variety of surveys and user studies have pointed to bash and Linux tools – very specifically, Ubuntu – be available in Windows, and without resource-heavy full virtualization.”
