WSL provides a Linux-compatible kernel interface developed by Microsoft (containing no Linux kernel code), which can then run a GNU userland on top of it, such as that of Ubuntu, openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Debian and Kali Linux. Such a userland might contain a Bash shell and command language, with native GNU/Linux command-line tools (sed, awk, etc.) and programming language interpreters (Ruby, Python, etc.). When introduced with the Anniversary Update, only an Ubuntu image was available. The Fall Creators Update moved the installation process for Linux distributions to the Windows Store, and introduced Fedora and Suse images. </blockquote> -The result, as you can see, is quite impressive. +The resulting functionality is impressive. {% include gallery caption="**Remmina** on WSL" %} -So while you wait or you write ;-) the code to port Remmina natively to Windows, enjoy it, as usual for Free(tm), with WSL and find some time to say thanks and cheers to Lewis. +Thanks and cheers to Lewis. |
