Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can launch Linux applications directly in a Windows 10 command prompt or PowerShell prompt.

You can run Linux commands, traipse around the provided Linux file system and even take a novel look at Windows files.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is bridging the divide between Windows and Linux by letting you run Windows 10 programs directly within a Linux shell.

You can access Linux and Windows files through Windows Explorer and WSL Linux shell windows. You can run Windows commands from Linux by simply appending ".exe" to them.

When Microsoft added Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to Windows 10, it became possible to run other Linux distributions such as openSUSE -- and not just Ubuntu -- on Windows 10.

There's a command line tool for running multiple commands on multiple Linux servers at once. Jack Wallen shows you how with Parallel-SSH.
