yes, there is now a "start linux" in windows 10 :-))

I installed the Linux sub-system for windows (LSW). Then, in the 'store' where you get Linux software, I found openSUSE. I installed it with no problem. I get a shell in which I can run openSUSE software. zypper works to keep it up to date. Just be aware that the original install is made for this environment. It is not the off-the-shelf Leap or Tumbleweed. But it is made by openSUSE. LSW is only character based. So it is a shell. I'm quite happy with that. It actually runs either Linux or Windows software directly. But with a proper shell and all the command line programs I take for granted on Linux. I think you can also install something called Microsoft Linux. There is such a thing. But I have to draw the line somewhere... I have read things about people playing with some X servers that will allow X applications to display in a window on the Windows desktop. But I'm not sure how well it worked. And it is just for single applications. I don't think I saw anyone running a Linux desktop. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
