Windows Subsystem for Linux

Star

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine, or dualboot setup.

You can:

  • Choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store.
  • Run common command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, or other ELF-64 binaries.
  • Run Bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications including:
    • Tools: vim, emacs, tmux
    • Languages: NodeJS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, C/C++, C# & F#, Rust, Go, etc.
    • Services: SSHD, MySQL, Apache, lighttpd, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.
    • Install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager.
    • Invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell.
    • Invoke GNU/Linux applications on Windows.

      Describe the bug
      If the destination import directory is marked as "compressed", the import stage will fail due to .vhdx files not being compressable.

      Please add terminal output if possible:

      jdsmi@YAMI ❯ ~\dev\scripts ❯
