PowerShell_ 2019 - The Windows Subsystem for Linux by Tara Raj

Linux on Windows?! When asked what developers wanted most on Windows 10, the answer was overwhelmingly for Bash support. The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run Linux environments -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a virtual machine. This lightweight tool makes it simple for developers to get started using Linux tools on Windows. In this session, we will cover how to use WSL with your favorite Linux tools & applications and ways to integrate WSL into your Windows development workflow. We'll also dive into the tech magic by explaining how this works under-the-hood. PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
