Linux Subsystem for Windows (WSL)

Since the WSL, basically the virtual machine has been saved, for the convenience of Windows, Linux for the development of friendly people, is really a big weapon. Unfortunately, the default system does not have CentOS, and fortunately, Daniel has developed a way to use Docker images to run other Linux distributions. Here are the detailed steps.

First turn on the Linux subsystem feature

This step of the online tutorial a lot, I will not say.

Install a default Linux system

Ubuntu can be selected at WIN10 's own software center

Wsl-distribution-switcher

1. Install Python3 This software is written in Python3, so you have to install Python3.
2. Download image download Good wsl-distribution-switcher, run the python get-source.py release Name: Version label, for example python get-source.py centos:latest , you can go to Dockerhub to see the specific tag.
3. Install image python install.py release name: Version label, for example, python install.py centos:latest . Some images are in SQUASHFS format, this time to install the relevant Python plug-in, that ispip3 install PySquashfsImage
4. Switch Linux versions of Python switch.py, and you'll see a list of the different Linux in the system

Use Python switch.py release Name: Version label to switch to the desired version, such as Python switch.py centos:latest
