WLinux the new distribution specifically for Windows 10 costs

WLinux: The Windows Subsystem for present in Windows 10 allows users of its operating system to run Linux distributions from within Windows 10. So to date it is possible to run Ubuntu, Debian and Kali distributions.

It looks like a new distribution has been developed optimized specifically for Windows 10 and Windows Subsystem for Linux.WLinux

The new distribution is called WLinux, and focuses on the packages associated with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, as well as the customizations needed to take full advantage of this feature of Windows 10.

"Given the high degree of adaptability of Linux, I thought a new WSL distribution should be created with reasonable defaults for use in WSL. I found and implemented an initial set of customizations and features that could be used by many distribution developers as a starting point for their own installation, says the founder of the Whitewater Foundry that developed the distribution.

But what is important to mention is that WLinux is available through Microsoft Store he is not coming . It costs $19,99, and there's currently a 50% discount on it, bringing it down to $10. Of course, we don't recommend buying it, unless you are a developer and think it's a good idea to use it in a project.

The WLinux distribution includes support for most Linux applications, development such as zsh, git, python 3.7 (all pre-installed), wslu and plugins for apps like Google , Visual Studio and pip3 for python.

The development team promises “faster patching than any upstream Linux specifically for the WSL's” and mentions that many unnecessary packages, such as systemd, have been removed for more stability and security.
