    Running Linux on Windows 10 easier with Hyper-V Quick Create


    Last Updated: 19 Sep 2018 at 08:55

    Today, we’ve made running Linux even easier on Windows 10. With the Hyper-V Quick Create feature added in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we have partnered with Ubuntu and added a virtual machine image so in a few quick minutes, you’ll be up and developing. This is available now – just type “Hyper-V Quick Create” in your start menu!



    Please note, this feature does require Hyper-V. Please head over to the docs to learn more about Hyper-V and enabling it.

    On top of running Ubuntu in a virtual machine, you can use Windows Subsystem for Linux. WSL is a Windows 10 feature that enables you to run native Linux command-line tools directly on Windows. WSL is an extremely easy to install feature on Windows 10, and you can run Ubuntu, Suse, Debian and other distros as well. And if you want to build your own distro and use that, you can too!

    Hi there
    try it and see -- also see if sound works

    please post results back !!

    BTW I had fun with Ubuntu and GUI apps using the WSL -- a bit messy to get windowed apps to work --you need an 'X' server on windows but some apps work as GUI.

    I have posted on these Forums (can't point link as it was a while ago) what I did to get a load of GUI apps to work - but I think if you want a full desktop GUI on WSL you are still some way off. CLI works fine - no probs.

    Cheers

    Yes, it is. You can remote to that, too. I made a short tut for this easiest possible way to set up Ubuntu VM in Hyper-V:
