Run many Linux GUI applications.

Many Linux GUI applications run on WLinux with a third-party X server installed on Windows. Choose from X410, VcXsrv, Xming, or Xmanager. We recommend X410. WLinux ships with custom settings to improve GUI application performance on Windows.

Linux apps execute at native speed.

Linux apps execute at native speed.

WLinux does not perform emulation or operate in a virtual machine, the WSL translation layer executes Linux binaries natively, translating Linux syscalls to Windows syscalls. CPU-intensive tasks perform as fast or faster on WSL than Linux on bare metal with little to no overhead. Install and use the latest open source machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science tools directly on Windows.

Support open source indie development.

WLinux is the first Linux distribution created specifically for WSL. It was created by WSL users who recognized the potential of the platform. The project is open source and community input is highly encouraged. Purchases through the Microsoft Store employ developers to add features, test builds, provide user support, and patch security bugs. WSL is supported by a growing online community and officially supported by Microsoft on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.

Expanding international support.

Expanding international support.

We have actively worked to improve support for non-English speakers and those with non-Latin input methods. "wlinux-setup" currently offers localization and key bindings for terminal applications. Features to improve input in graphical applications is planned in our next release. Documentation has been translated into both Chinese and Japanese.

我々は、非英語のスピーカーと非ラテン語の入力方法とのサポートを改善するために積極的に取り組んできました。"wlinux-setup " は現在、ターミナルアプリケーションのローカリゼーションとキーバインディングを提供しています。次のリリースでは、グラフィカルアプリケーションでの入力を改善する機能が計画されています。
