For example, to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with GUI support and automatically install Ubuntu, you would enter the wsl --install -d Ubuntu at a Windows 10 Elevated Command Prompt.

If you develop for both Windows and Linux, Ubuntu 21.10 is a natural fit. If you want to try Ubuntu with Kubernetes cloud-native projects, Canonical makes it as easy as falling off a log.

Ubuntu's upcoming 21.10 distro is far ahead of Windows 10 and 11 in performance in some of the applications as per a report. The performance is especially impressive in CPUs-intense workloads.

Testing of Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) on Windows 11 shows competitive performance against Ubuntu 21.10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. But, it also loses by a lot under certain scenarios.
