Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL2 Commands
The ability to run Linux natively in Windows 10 is provided by the WSL feature. WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux, which initially, was limited to Ubuntu only. Modern versions of WSL allow installing and running multiple Linux distros from Microsoft Store.
After enabling WSL, you can install various Linux versions from the Store:
Ubuntu
openSUSE Leap
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
