I’ve had rudimentary knowledge (i.e. Google) running Linux web servers for the 5-6 years, but decided to delve deeper into Linux. I’ve been in training last week to get my foundational learning in Linux, and plan on getting my Linux+/LPIC certs hopefully by the end of the year.

During training, I found out that as an alternative to VMs, Microsoft implemented WSL–Windows Subsystem for Linux–in some builds of Windows OS, namely Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

Got it installed on my home PC, which relieves some of the need to switch over to my Linux boxes when the mood strikes…
