From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The pandemic and programming.
I was watching some tutorials and saw how easily people used the terminal, and how clunky cmd felt.
Next day I had ubuntu running.
If that is the only reason you should have installed WSL. Saved you a big switch.
Oh, I already hated windows, that was just the last straw

I've run WSL. Native Linux is better.
Wel yeh running things native is always better then virtualizing it
