This beginner’s tutorial shows you how to Run Linux On Windows 11 and  Install Linux Bash Shell on Windows 11

If you don’t know what is WSL then the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Windows that lets you run Linux software on your Windows 11 PC.  Bash on Windows provides a Windows subsystem where you can run Linux without any issue. It’s nothing like a virtual system as it is complete Linux system inside Windows 11.

Hardcore Linux users might not like this idea of running Linux on Windows but it is the best option for people who want to try Linux for the first time before using it on a full board basis. It is also useful when you want to use Linux and Windows 11 at the same time without restarting your PC or laptop.

wsl --list --online or wsl -l -o.

Run the following command to change the Linux operating system that you have installed.

wsl --install -d <Distribution Name>. Replace <Distribution Name> with the name of the Linux operating system, you would like to install.

Once you have installed WSL in Windows 11, you will need to create a user account and password for your newly installed Linux distribution.
