Microsoft Demos GUI Linux Apps Running on WSL

WSL 2 is a major upgrade over the original version of WSL Microsoft introduced in 2022. More than than a mere version crash-land, WSL 2 is faster, more versatile, and uses a real Linux kernel.

And new Linux kernel updates are released equally Windows 10 software updates — which is kinda crazy when you recollect most information technology!

Microsoft's goal in creating WSL ii is to boost performance. And the best way to do that? Add full system call compatibility, i.east. put a real Linux kernel at the heart of things.

"[This] new architecture presents a better platform for the WSL team to deliver features that make WSL an amazing mode to run a Linux surroundings in Windows," say Microsoft of the tech.

The crazy shows no sign of abating either as Microsoft plans to let users run desktop Linux apps on Windows 10 and leverage GPU-intensive tasks.

And the best news is that it is much easier to install WSL on Windows 10, every bit our updated guide shows.

Install WSL 2 on Windows x

Requirements

To install WSL 2 on Windows 10 you need:

Windows ten May 2022 (2004), Windows 10 May 2022 (1903), or Windows 10 November 2022 (1909) or later on
A reckoner with Hyper-5 Virtualization back up

If you have Windows x May 2022 (2004) update (or later) installed you can install WSL with a single command. If you don yet have the Windows 10 May 2022 (2004) update at that place are a couple of additional steps you'll need to go through in order to get things set up.

To use WSL your computer must support Hyper-V Virtualization. Not sure if yours does? Y'all can check your Hyper-V back up manually.

If yous don't encounter these requirements you cannot install or enable WSL 2 but you can utilise WSL one.

Installing WSL 2 on Bone Build 2004 (or later)

a screenshot of the windows command prompt and the new wsl install command — Unmarried command easy

to install WSL ii on Windows 10 OS Build 2004 or later y'all need to open up the control prompt app with Administrator permissions, and enter the following control:

wsl.exe --install

As soon as you hit enter, the process automatically gets to work. Information technology enables the WSL optional features required, fetches the latest WSL Linux kernel version, and installs Ubuntu every bit your default distro:

Once done, reboot and log in to Windows 10. The command prompt will open again and you'll be walked through setting up Ubuntu with a username and password (these don't need to exist the same every bit your Windows username and countersign though).

Once washed you lot tin open up the 'Ubuntu' app from the Outset Menu to get started, or install the Microsoft Terminal app to outset exploring your newly-installed Ubuntu install — don't forget to run an apt update && apt upgrade though!

Install WSL 2 (Old Method)

If you apply an before version of Windows 10 you can still install WSL two (Microsoft backported WSL two to older versions of Windows ten in Windows Update KB4566116) just the process isn't quite as simple equally in the 2004 update.

To install WSL two on Windows 10 (Bone Build 1909 or 1903) yous need to follow iv steps:

Enable WSL 2
Enable 'Virtual Motorcar Platform'
Set WSL 2 every bit default
Install a Linux distro

I walk through each step in turn below. I recommend using the PowerShell app, which you need to run as an ambassador. You lot can find PowerShell in the Windows Start Bill of fare.

Note: it is possible to install WSL 1 using a GUI too merely information technology's much faster to use the control line, and since WSL is a CLI tool it kinda makes sense too!

Footstep one. Enable WSL

Regardless of which version of WSL you want to use you lot outset need to enable it. To do this open the PowerShell tool as an Administrator and run the command below. Be careful not to mistype or leave out any character in the command:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

Simply want to apply WSL one? You tin skip to step 4.

Pace 2. Enable 'Virtual Machine Platform'

WSL 2 requires Windows ten'south "Virtual Motorcar Platform" feature to be enabled. This is separate from Hyper-5 and hands some of the more than interesting platform integrations available in the new version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

To enable Virtual Machine Platform on Windows 10 (2004) open PowerShell equally Administrator and run:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

To enable Virtual Motorcar Platform on Windows 10 (1903, 1909) open PowerShell as Ambassador and run:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform -NoRestart

To ensure all of the relevant bits and pieces fall neatly in to identify yous should restart your system at this betoken or you may notice that things don't work as intended.

Stride 3. Set WSL two equally default

Open PowerShell equally Administrator and run this command to set WSL 2 equally the default version of WSL:

wsl --set-default-version 2

You tin (at any time) configure a distro to run in WSL ane fashion if you lot need to.

Step 4. Install a distro

With WSL and the necessary virtualisation tech all in place all that is left for you lot to exercise is pick and install a Linux distro from the Microsoft Store.

Several different distros are available, including OpenSUSE, Pengwin, Fedora Remix, and Alpine Linux. But my personal recommendation is (naturally) Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (though eighteen.04 LTS and xvi.04 LTS are also available).

To install Ubuntu on Windows 10 open up the Microsoft Store app, search for "Ubuntu 20.04", and hit the "Get" button:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on the Microsoft Store

Whilst you in the Microsoft Store I highly recommend that you also install the open source Windows Terminal app. This tool is designed to requite you the all-time possible WSL feel:

Windows Last on the Microsoft Store

5. Use WSL 2

When you installed Ubuntu (or a unlike Linux distro) a shortcut was added to the Commencement Menu. Utilize this to "open" Ubuntu (or whichever distro you lot chose). The first time you run the distro things will seem a little deadening. This is expected; the distro has to unpack and decompress all of its contents — simply don't interrupt the process.

Y'all will also be promoted to ready a username and password for employ on the distro. Try to pick something you won't forget.

Convert Ubuntu on WSL 1 to WSL ii

If you use WSL 1 you can upgrade an existing WSL 1 installation to WSL 2. To convert an existing WSL 1 distro to WSL 2 run the following in PowerShell, e..k,:
