WSL (optional - for Windows users)

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Windows that allows you to run a Linux environment on your Windows machine¹

In the last module we learnt about operating system and we established the Linux, Mac and the Windows operating systems as the major operating platforms for desktop environment. The Linux and macOS are also known and referred to as the Unix-based operating system

The goal of WSL is the enable Windows user to use their laptops in a way that is originally exclusive to Unix-based operating system users.
