If you’re an experienced Linux user who’s just more used to one distribution than another, you’ll probably want to use that Linux distribution.

Some Linux distributions have more bleeding edge software and some have more conservative, stable software. If you’re working on software that will be run on an Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise, or Fedora server, you’ll want to choose the corresponding Linux distribution so your Linux system works like your production environment. After all, different Linux distributions have different software and settings. If you’re a developer, you can now pick the one that closest fits what you’re developing for. However, you can pick any Linux distribution you like. If you’re just an enthusiast looking to play with or learn the Linux command line, Ubuntu is still a great option to start with. It’s still intended for using a command-line Linux environment, with only unofficial support for graphical Linux desktop applications. The Windows Subsystem for Linux is a developer feature. Search for “Debian Linux” or “Kali Linux” to find and install them. Update: Debian and Kali are now available in the Store, but aren’t listed here. Select a distro and click the “Get” button to install it. You’ll see a list of all the Linux distributions offered through the Microsoft Store here. Search for “Linux” and click the “Get the apps” button in the banner that appears. That “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows” tool will remain functional, but is considered deprecated, which means it won’t receive any support in the future.Īfter turning on the “Windows Subsystem for Linux” feature and rebooting your PC, you’ll need to open the Store. If you have the older “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows” software installed on Windows 10’s Fall Creators Update, Microsoft recommends you migrate your files over, uninstall your existing Ubuntu environment, and use the new Linux distributions offered through the Store instead.
