Linux on Windows
Beyond what Microsoft looks for integrating Linux into Windows, this is excellent news for all users, since with Fall Creators Update, you can install Linux on your computer without needing the dual boot or a virtual machine. In this case, you only have to activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), reboot the computer and download Linux from the Windows Store.
Earlier it was possible to do this. However, you needed to activate the developer mode to gain access to the beta phase. Similarly, in the past, you could run the subsystem using Bash.exe. Now, you can download the distros from the application store and install them as if it were another program.

Although it remains under the control of Microsoft, Linux and Windows 10 are in the same system. That is being able to run the operating system Open Source freely and without consuming so many resources. The operating system will be run as a process, so it will increase the CPU and RAM consumption depending on how it is required.

That can be a problem if you have a computer with limited resources. But you can run the code on Linux directly from Windows as if you were on a PC with any distro. In the distributions section, new features will be added soon. But at the moment, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and Linux Enterprise Server are available in the application store.
Security issue fixed
