For Windows users: Why you should use WSL2? WSL2 enables users to run Linux applications and use command-line tools natively on their Windows machines. This integration allows users to enjoy the familiarity of Windows while simultaneously harnessing the power and flexibility of Linux. Also, a surprising number of Linux GUI apps can run on WSL. GUI applications are officially supported on WSL2 and referred to as WSLg (No installation required).
