Details

If you want to learn how to run Linux applications on Windows without the hassle of virtual machines or dual booting, then you should attend this primer on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

WSL is a feature that lets you install and use your favorite Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, and more, directly on Windows.

You can access the power and flexibility of Linux command-line tools, utilities, and applications from your Windows machine. You can also use Windows applications from within Linux, and even run graphical Linux programs on your Windows desktop.

You will learn how to:
install WSL with a single command,
how to switch between different Linux distributions,
use GPU acceleration for machine learning & data science scenarios,
and how to troubleshoot common issues.
Don't miss this opportunity to discover the best of both worlds with WSL!

It will cover:

  • Installing from a repository
  • Opening and saving files, abandoning any changes you made ( accidents never happen do they? )
  • Basic movement of the cursor
  • Undo function
  • Find / replace

Modes such as:

  • shell scripting (bash)
  • compilation and debugging
  • special commenting modes

I can go on for weeks, but everyone would be passed out on the floor. Any thoughts would be welcome.
