From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Same here. WSL1 has shown me the ecosystem of Linux, so I decided to switch from Windows to Linux completely.

Well, but now WSL2 with GUI seems threaten a little about Linux DE in the end :/

WSL number is quite high with dev, and sometimes I also think WSL2 is convenient because I don't need to have desktop linux to work with.
