Interesting! Can you please explain it a bit further? Is it like old school Virtual Machines like VMware, Virtualbox, Qemu?

Not like a vm.

Install WSL

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command, wsl --install. Use a Bash terminal on your Windows machine run by your preferred Linux distribution - Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, Fedora, Pengwin, Alpine, and more are available.

If you need a full Linux gui then go with a virtual machine. For software development, you really shouldn’t need it.

Did you mean for software development I shouldn't install WSL?

No, I mean that if you’re just going to do software development, you don’t need a full virtual machine. WSL should work fine. Plus, it will allow you to get used to using all the Linux commands because you will be using actual Linux.

But if you prefer, you can always create a virtual machine and install Linux that way

I see. Thanks a lot man. I really appreciate your help.

Kinda, but way more integrated, you don't have to set any ram or disk amounts and it shows up in a normal command window.
But it only runs the kernel so if you want to develop for ubuntu desktop there could be a lot of difference between that and the real thing, just a guess though, you would have to research that.
