Microsoft finally makes Fedora an official Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) dis

BrianFagioli writes: Well, it has finally happened. Fedora Linux is now officially available as a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distribution! Thatâ(TM)s right, folks, following prior testing, you can now run Fedora 42 natively inside Windows using WSL. As someone who considers Fedora to be my favorite Linux distribution, this is a pretty exciting development.

Installing it is simple enough. Just open up a terminal and type wsl --install FedoraLinux-42 to get started. After that, launch it with wsl -d FedoraLinux-42 and set your username. No password is required by default, and youâ(TM)ll automatically be part of the wheel group, meaning you can use sudo right out of the gate.
