I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Windows Subsytem for Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, WSL. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free app in the Microsoft Store and part of a fully functioning Windows system made useful by the Windows OS, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the WSL system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of WSL which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Windows system, developed by Microsoft.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the app: the program in the system that wastes the machine’s resources to limit the other programs that you run. The app is an optional part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete Windows operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Windows operating system: the whole system is basically Windows with Linux added, or WSL. All the so-called “Linux” apps are really flavors of WSL.
