====Setting Up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)==== 1. Enable WSL Do a search for “Windows features” and then enable WSL: 2.

You could install things like Ruby, Python, NodeJS or whatever tools you would normally install and follow the Ubuntu installation instructions. Graphical apps won’t work yet, but before we get into that, we need to deal with using a proper terminal because the default Microsoft terminal is rough. If you happen to like it, you can do a Windows search for “bash” to launch it in the future, but I don’t think it’s worth using.
