You’ll have to pay for the privilege, though
Microsoft Windows 10 users are spoiled for choice when it comes to Linux these days, and now open-source startup Whitewater Foundry has added yet another option for penguinistas living in a Windows world.
Ubuntu, SUSE and Debian are all available for use under Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). However, the line-up has thus far been void of anything from that minnow of the Linux world, Red Hat.
Whitewater Foundry had already released a WSL-optimised version of Debian to the Microsoft Store back in 2018. We took a look in September and found much to like, particularly the ease with which we were able to fire up graphical Linux apps on the Windows 10 desktop from the previously resolutely command-line-focused WSL.
After being approached by members of the Fedora community, Whitewater decided to have a crack at getting the distribution onto Microsoft’s Linux compatibility layer in the form of Fedora Remix .
