Installing Ubuntu on Windows 10

From time to time, we might need to run a Linux environment on windows to run Linux commands, we can do this by creating a virtual machine on the windows system however it would take more resources(CPU, Memory, and storage)
But there is another option called WSL aka Windows Subsystem for Linux, which would require fewer resources than a full Virtual Machine.
WSL also allows you to run Linux command-line tools and apps alongside your Windows command-line and you can even access your Windows files from within Linux environment.

Search for "Turn Windows features On or Off" in the windows search
It will open a window as below, scroll down, select 'Windows subsystems for Linux' and click on OK.
Once you click OK, it will apply the required changes and requests you to restart your system
After the restart, we can install our preferred Linux Distributions using "Microsoft Store" in your system, and search for 'Ubuntu' or 'Linux'.
Here, I am trying to install Ubuntu(Linux distribution)
Once installed, open the Ubuntu app, it will take a few moments to finish the installation and would launch a Ubuntu Terminal.
Inside the terminal, you will be asked to enter your Unix username and password, which is different from your windows credentials, so you can give new credentials here.
Finally, we can run Linux commands in the Ubuntu terminal
ls -al, will list the files and directories in the current directory

enter the below commands
1. ls /mnt/
2. cd /mnt/c
3. ls -al, cd Users/your_desktop_path/

touch notes.txt -- to create notes.txt text file
nano notes.txt -- opens the text file using default and simple terminal-based text editor
cat notes.txt --displays text in the file
pwd -- the path of the current working directory (folder)
mkdir Music -- creates a new 'Music' folder

You can find and learn more about the Linux command line here

Also, you can open the bash terminal in the windows cmd by running, bash command-- and run Linux commands.
