Bash Shell Scripting- Installing Ubuntu on Windows 10

The video tutorial explains how to install and use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on a Windows operating system. It highlights the benefits of WSL, such as running Linux distributions like Ubuntu directly on Windows without needing a virtual machine or cloud instance. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to enabling WSL and demonstrates how to access Windows files from Ubuntu, making it easier for developers to test scripts across platforms without file transfers.

What is one of the main advantages of using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)?

• It requires a 32-bit Windows operating system.

• It provides a graphical interface for Linux applications.

• It enables direct access to scripts on both Windows and Linux.

• It allows running Windows applications on Linux.

What is a challenge when using cloud or VMware for Linux that WSL addresses?

• The need to copy scripts between systems.

• The requirement for additional hardware.

• The lack of internet connectivity.

• The inability to run Windows applications.

How does WSL benefit developers using GUI tools?

• It offers a virtual machine environment for Linux.

• It enables the use of GUI tools on Windows to write scripts accessible on Linux.

• It provides a Linux-like command line on Windows.

• It allows GUI tools to be used on Linux directly.

What is a requirement for using Windows Subsystem for Linux?
