Ubuntu on Windows 10 - The Ubuntu Userspace for Windows Developers



Here's let's break it down slowly:
  • Windows 10 users
  • Can open the Windows Start menu
  • And type "bash" [enter]
  • Which opens a  cmd.exe console
  • Running  Ubuntu's /bin/bash
  • With full access to all of Ubuntu user space
    Yes, that means apt, ssh, rsync, find, grep, awk, sed, sort, xargs, md5sum, gpg, curl, wget, apache, mysql, python, perl, ruby, php, gcc, tar, vim, emacs, diff, patch.


And most of the tens of thousands binary packages available in the Ubuntu archives!


"Right, so just Ubuntu running in a virtual machine?" 
Nope!  This isn't a virtual machine at all.  There's no Linux kernel booting in a VM under a hypervisor.  It's just the Ubuntu user space.

"Ah, okay, so this is Ubuntu in a container then?" 
Nope!  This isn't a container either.  It's native Ubuntu binaries running directly in Windows.

"Hum, well it's like cygwin perhaps?" 
Nope!  Cygwin includes open source utilities are recompiled from source to run natively in Windows.  Here, we're talking about bit-for-bit, checksum-for-checksum Ubuntu ELF binaries running directly in Windows.
