New distro’s coming to Bash/WSL via Windows Store – Windows Command Line Tools For Developers blogs.msdn.microsoft.com We’re REALLY excited about this announcement and think many of you will be too ?? On May 11th 2017, during Microsoft’s Build conference keynote, Terry Myerson (EVP for Windows & Devices Group) made several announcements about the Windows Subsystem for Linux: We continue our partnership with our friends at Canonical to bring Ubuntu to the Windows Store app We are also working with the great teams at SUSE and Fedora to bring their Linux distro’s to the Windows Store & Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) You will be able to download these distro’s from the store and install them side-by-side on your PC(s) You’ll be able to run one or more distro’s simultaneously if you wish And at OSCON 2017 I delivered a talk on the architecture and history of Bash/WSL, and outlined these new features. Thanks to the great OSCON audience & attendees for all your great support & engagement ?? These new features deliver several key benefits including: You’ll enjoy faster and more reliable downloads You can install your distro’s to secondary fixed drives (i.e. not C:!) You can run different distro’s aligned more closely with your production environments and/or personal preferences You can run more than one distro at a time – great for when you need to work on systems that span different environments WSL was always designed to be distro-agnostic and this is the first time we’re exercising this aspect of the system. As always, we greatly appreciate any testing you can help us with, and if you find problems, please file bugs in our GitHub issues repo. We can’t wait to hear how you get on installing via the store and running different and multiple distro’s! These new features will arrive in an up-coming Windows Insider build. If you’d like to be among the first to try-out these new distro’s, be sure to sign-up for the Windows Insider program, and configure your Win10 machine to install fast-ring builds. blogs.msdn.microsoft.com
